Question 1

According to the Lipschitz anthropometric classification widely used in Argentine clinical practice for older adults (adultos mayores), what Body Mass Index (BMI / IMC) range defines a normal nutritional status (peso normal / eutrofia)?

22.0 to 27.0 kg/m² 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m² 25.0 to 29.9 kg/m² 20.0 to 25.0 kg/m²

Correct Answer:

22.0 to 27.0 kg/m²

Question 2

A 58-year-old patient admitted with a 3-week history of severe hyporexia, unintentional weight loss of 12% of habitual body weight, persistent diarrhea, subcutaneous fat loss over the triceps and temples, and mild ankle edema is evaluated using the Subjective Global Assessment (Valoración Global Subjetiva - VGS / SGA). What is the patient's nutritional category?

VGS Class A: Well nourished (Bien nutrido) VGS Class C: Severely malnourished (Severamente desnutrido) VGS Class B: Moderately malnourished or suspected malnutrition (Moderadamente desnutrido) VGS Class D: Critical cachexia requiring immediate parenteral bypass

Correct Answer:

VGS Class C: Severely malnourished (Severamente desnutrido)

Question 3

Why are visceral proteins such as serum albumin and prealbumin (transthyretin) considered unreliable indicators of acute nutritional status in critically ill or inflamed patients?

Their plasma concentrations increase dramatically during metabolic stress, leading to false-positive overestimations of nutritional reserves They have an excessively long biological half-life of over 120 days, making them insensitive to short-term changes They are negative acute-phase reactants whose hepatic synthesis decreases in response to systemic inflammation and proinflammatory cytokines regardless of nutrient intake They are exclusively degraded by the kidneys, rendering their levels dependent only on glomerular filtration rate

Correct Answer:

They are negative acute-phase reactants whose hepatic synthesis decreases in response to systemic inflammation and proinflammatory cytokines regardless of nutrient intake

Question 4

In clinical anthropometric assessment, how is the Mid-Arm Muscle Circumference (Circunferencia Muscular del Brazo - CMB) calculated to assess somatic protein mass, and what variables are required?

CMB (cm) = Body weight (kg) - [3.1416 × Triceps skinfold (PCT, cm)] CMB (cm) = Mid-arm circumference (CB, cm) + [3.1416 × Triceps skinfold (PCT, mm)] CMB (cm) = [Mid-arm circumference (CB, cm) / Triceps skinfold (PCT, mm)] × 100 CMB (cm) = Mid-arm circumference (CB, cm) - [3.1416 × Triceps skinfold (PCT, cm)]

Correct Answer:

CMB (cm) = Mid-arm circumference (CB, cm) - [3.1416 × Triceps skinfold (PCT, cm)]

Question 5

When applying the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) tool to adult hospitalized patients, what total score threshold indicates that the patient is at nutritional risk and requires a formal nutritional care plan?

Total score ≥ 3 Total score ≥ 1 Total score ≥ 5 Total score ≥ 7
