Question 1
Pts w _________ should be careful on dosing with fat soluble vitamins?
Correct Answer:
Liver disease
Explanation:
Fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K are stored in the liver and adipose tissue and are absorbed with dietary fats. Because they can accumulate, taking high doses carries a risk of toxicity. When liver disease is present, the liver’s ability to metabolize, store, and release these vitamins is altered, making it easier to end up with abnormal levels even with standard supplementation. That’s why dosing fat-soluble vitamins must be approached with extra caution in liver disease. In contrast, vitamin C is water-soluble and excess is usually excreted, iron is a mineral, and kidney failure affects other processes more than the storage of fat-soluble vitamins, so they don’t require the same dosing caution for these vitamins.
Question 2
What is the soft diet?
Correct Answer:
Low in fiber and seasoning, easily digested
Explanation:
Soft diet focuses on texture and gentle digestion, using foods that are soft, easy to chew and swallow. Because the aim is to minimize digestive workload, these foods are typically low in fiber and mild in seasonings, so they pass through the system with less effort and less irritation. That’s why describing the diet as low in fiber and seasoning and easily digested best matches the concept. High-fiber foods add bulk and require more chewing and digestive processing, so they don’t fit. Spicy foods can irritate the GI lining and are not characteristic of a bland, gentle diet. Raw vegetables are harder to break down and chew, so they aren’t part of a soft-diet pattern.
Question 3
Which statement describes a clear liquid diet?
Correct Answer:
See through, no residue, non gas-forming
Explanation:
A clear liquid diet consists of liquids you can see through and that leave no undigested residue in the intestines. The description provided—see-through, no residue, and non gas-forming—fits this idea exactly, because the goal is liquids that are transparent, free of solid particles, and gentle on the digestive tract without producing gas. In practice, you’d have water, clear broths, strained fruit juice without pulp, tea or coffee without milk, and plain gelatin. It excludes dairy or any liquids with pulp, opaque juices, or beverages that introduce solid material or gas into the gut. This approach supports hydration with minimal residue, often used when the gut needs to rest or before procedures.
Question 4
Which of the following factors is NOT known to increase BMR?
Correct Answer:
Hair color
Explanation:
BMR reflects the body's energy needs at rest and is driven by factors that change metabolic rate, not by cosmetic traits. Fever raises BMR because the body works harder to fight infection and maintain a higher temperature. Thyroid status also shifts BMR: higher thyroid hormone levels speed up many metabolic processes, increasing energy use. Age tends to lower BMR over time as lean body mass and metabolic activity decline. Hair color, on the other hand, is a pigment-related trait with no mechanism that alters resting energy expenditure. So hair color is not known to increase BMR.
Question 5
Preserve kidney function through limiting protein to how many g/kg/day?
Correct Answer:
0.8-1.0 g/kg/day
Explanation:
In kidney disease, limiting protein helps reduce the kidneys’ workload and the production of nitrogenous waste, which can slow progression and preserve function. The best-supported target is about 0.8 to 1.0 g of protein per kilogram of body weight each day, a level that lowers renal stress while still meeting most essential nutritional needs. Lowering to 0.6–0.8 g/kg/day can risk protein malnutrition if energy intake isn’t carefully managed, while higher intakes like 1.2–1.5 or 1.5–2.0 g/kg/day increase the kidneys’ workload and are not typically used for preservation of function.
