Question 1

Individuals at increased risk of developing diabetes in the future because they have either impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance are said to have __________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Individuals at increased risk of developing diabetes...

Question 2

Glycosylated hemoglobin is considered a good indicator of average blood glucose levels during the previous 8 to 12 weeks.

Accepted Answer

Glycosylated hemoglobin, also known as HbA1c, forms when hemoglobin binds with glucose in the bloodstream. Since red blood cells have a lifespan of about 120 days, measuring HbA1c levels can give an estimate of blood glucose levels over the past 8 to 12 weeks.

Question 3

__________ is a condition in which bone mineral density that is less than desirable but is not low enough to be diagnostic for osteoporosis.

Accepted Answer

The answer of __________ is a condition in which bone...

Question 4

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute now recommends universal screening for lipid levels for all children ages 9 - 11 years.

Accepted Answer

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute does now recommend universal screening for lipid levels for all children ages 9 - 11 years.

Question 5

Diastole refers to the phase of cardiac relaxation.

Accepted Answer

Diastole is indeed the phase of cardiac relaxation, when the heart muscle is relaxed and chambers are filling with blood.

Question 6

Bone is dynamic tissue that is constantly undergoing change in a process known as __________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Bone is dynamic tissue that is constantly...

Question 7

Risk factor intervention efforts that are implemented before a certain risk factor even develops are known as __________ prevention.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Risk factor intervention efforts that are implemented...

Question 8

Although precision is necessary in order for accuracy to exist, accuracy is not necessary in order for precision to exist.

Accepted Answer

Precision refers to the degree of consistency and exactness, while accuracy refers to the degree of correctness or truthfulness. Therefore, precision can exist independently of accuracy, as long as there is consistency and exactness in the measurements or calculations. However, accuracy cannot exist without precision, as there must be some level of consistency in order to determine whether the result is correct or not.

Question 9

Current clinical practice guidelines developed by the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute for preventing cardiovascular disease in children and adolescents do not recommend universal screening of lipid levels in children and adolescents.

Accepted Answer

The current clinical practice guidelines developed by the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute do recommend universal lipid screening for children and adolescents at specific ages (once between the ages of 9 and 11 and again between 17 and 21) to better identify those at risk for cardiovascular disease.

Question 10

Because cholesterol and triglycerides are fat soluble, they must be transported in the blood by spherical macromolecular complexes known as __________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Because cholesterol and triglycerides are fat soluble,...

Question 11

As bone mineral density increases, the T-score decreases.

Accepted Answer

As bone mineral density increases, the T-score increases, not decreases.

Question 12

Diabetes that develops during pregnancy is known as __________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Diabetes that develops during pregnancy is known...

Question 13

One of the advantages of using non-HDL-cholesterol as an indicator of CHD risk is that it can be accurately determined in the non-fasting state.

Accepted Answer

Non-HDL-cholesterol includes all the cholesterol-containing particles that are potentially atherogenic, and it is calculated by subtracting the HDL-cholesterol level from the total cholesterol level, which can be measured accurately without fasting. Therefore, it is a useful and convenient tool for predicting CHD risk in clinical practice.

Question 14

When using the CHD Risk Prediction Charts developed by the National Cholesterol Education Program, the higher the total points, the lower the CHD risk.

Accepted Answer

The statement is actually the opposite of the truth. The higher the total points on the CHD Risk Prediction Charts, the greater the CHD risk.

Question 15

__________ of the calcaneus is used as a screening method to identify persons who are at increased risk of osteoporosis and are candidates for further evaluation of bone mineral density using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.

Accepted Answer

The answer of __________ of the calcaneus is used as...

Question 16

When classifying blood pressure in the pediatric population, the same cut-points are used as when classifying the blood pressure of adults.

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure cut-points for children and adolescents are age-, sex-, and height-specific, and differ from those used in adults.

Question 17

Osteoporosis is diagnosed by comparing a patient's bone mineral density (BMD) with the mean normal BMD in a population of healthy young adults of the same sex and assigning what is referred to as a __________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Osteoporosis is diagnosed by comparing a patient's...

Question 18

The majority of within-individual variability in cholesterol analyses is due to preanalytical factors.

Accepted Answer

Preanalytical factors such as fasting status, recent food intake, medication use, and exercise can all affect cholesterol levels and contribute to within-individual variability in cholesterol analyses. Analytical factors and biological factors also play a role, but preanalytical factors are the primary contributor to variability.
