Accepted Answer

The answer of Which intervention would be considered most appropriate...

Question 3

Follow-up questions by the nutritionist that stem from information already provided by the client are known as:

Accepted Answer

Secondary questions are used to gather more detailed information about a specific topic. They build on information already provided by the client, and help the nutritionist understand the client's situation more fully. Funneling questions start broad and narrow down to specific details, closed-ended questions have a limited set of answer options, open-ended questions allow for a more free-flowing response, and double-structure questions use two-part questions to gather more complex information.

Question 4

Which describes a status term that can be used to report progress toward a nutrition goal?​

Accepted Answer

"Improvement shown" is the best status term to report progress toward a nutrition goal as it indicates progress is being made. The other status terms do not convey any progress being achieved or measured.

Question 5

Which characteristic of the provider would be most likely support a positive relationship with the client?

Accepted Answer

Flexibility would be the most likely characteristic to support a positive relationship with the client. Being flexible allows the provider to adapt to the client's needs and preferences, leading to increased satisfaction and trust in the provider. Charisma, wisdom, insight, and power can also be beneficial, but they do not necessarily guarantee a positive relationship without the additional component of flexibility.

Question 6

Which best describes a strategy that may be used to facilitate change?​

Accepted Answer

Self-monitoring involves paying attention to one's own behavior, which can help to identify areas for change.

Question 7

Which best describes the dietitian's role while developing a relationship with the client during nutrition counseling?​

Accepted Answer

The dietitian's role while developing a relationship with the client during nutrition counseling includes active listening, building rapport, understanding the client's needs and concerns, and providing individualized nutrition recommendations. Sharing personal information or making choices for the client would not be appropriate, and spending a minimum of 60 minutes with the client may not always be necessary. Directing the client toward behavior change may be part of the role, but it should be done in collaboration with the client, not by imposing choices on them.

Question 8

Before discharge, the dietitian meets with MT to provide discharge teaching combined with nutrition education materials. What is the most important detail regarding the material provided?​

Accepted Answer

The clarity of the material is the most important detail as MT will need to understand and follow the instructions provided in order to manage their Crohn's disease effectively.

Question 9

The dietitian determines that MT consumes 40 g of protein per day, but she needs 65 g per day. Which is recommended to boost both kcalorie and protein intakes?​

Accepted Answer

Option B provides both kcalories and additional protein through ProMod, which is a medical nutrition supplement containing whey protein isolate. The other options do not provide enough protein or do not contribute significantly to kcalorie intake.

Question 10

What must first be done before monitoring and evaluating an outcome of nutrition intervention?​

Accepted Answer

Before monitoring and evaluating the outcome of nutrition intervention, completing a nutrition reassessment is necessary to have a baseline to compare progress from. This reassessment should include relevant measurements and assessments such as dietary intake, weight, and biochemistry. Correcting underlying electrolyte imbalances, performing a physical examination, completing a discharge summary, or copying a list of approved foods and supplements may be important tasks in the overall care plan, but they are not directly related to monitoring and evaluating the outcome of nutrition intervention.

Question 11

Which is an example of a closed-ended question?​

Accepted Answer

A closed-ended question typically has a limited number of response options, often a yes or no answer or a multiple choice option. "Are you taking your medication?" is an example of a closed-ended question because it only allows two possible responses: yes or no.

Other options B, C, D, and E are open-ended questions because they allow for a variety of responses and do not limit the answer to a specific set of options.

Question 12

A nutritionist is providing teaching to a client about making changes in her diet. The client is resistant to change and says, "I don't think I could follow that kind of diet." Which response from the nutritionist would be most appropriate to confront this client?

Accepted Answer

Choice E validates the client's desire for help and offers support rather than confrontation. It also expresses the nutritionist's willingness to be helpful, which may encourage the client to be more receptive to making changes. The other options contain elements of blame or criticism, which could further discourage the client from making changes.

Question 13

The nutritionist wants to build a relationship with MT during the nutrition counseling sessions. Which best describes the beginning of an open-ended question?​

Accepted Answer

"How" is the best open-ended question starter as it allows the client to provide more detailed and personalized information, which can lead to a more meaningful conversation and better understanding of their nutrition needs.

Question 14

Which example refers to applying social learning theory in nutrition counseling and education?​

Accepted Answer

Sharing success stories is an example of applying social learning theory in nutrition counseling and education. This is because social learning theory suggests that individuals can learn from observing and modeling the behavior of others, and sharing success stories can serve as positive models for behavior change.

Question 15

The concept that behavior is learned and is directly related to both internal and external factors is an assumption of which learning theory?​

Accepted Answer

The answer of The concept that behavior is learned and...

Question 16

The purpose of monitoring and evaluation is:​

Accepted Answer

The purpose of monitoring and evaluation is to determine the degree of progress being made toward the client's goals. It helps in identifying if the client's goals are being achieved or not and if any changes need to be made in the plan of care.

Question 17

As a result of these findings, what would the dietitian most likely prescribe?

Accepted Answer

The finding of insufficient medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) in the patient's diet suggests that the dietitian would prescribe an MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) modular supplement. MCTs are a rich source of MCFA and can be used to increase MCT consumption in the diet.

Question 18

Which action represents using attentive body language while counseling a client?

Accepted Answer

Leaning forward while talking indicates that the counselor is engaged and actively listening to the client, which demonstrates attentive body language. Maintaining eye contact also shows attentiveness, but it should not be constant as it can be perceived as intimidating. Leaning back or standing with arms folded may signal defensiveness or disinterest, while interrupting can disrupt the flow of conversation and make the client feel unheard.

Question 19

The dietitian is concerned about MT's ability to process hyperosmolar liquids while she is transitioning to eating more solid foods. Which liquid should be avoided?​

Accepted Answer

The answer of The dietitian is concerned about MT's ability...

Question 20

Which example constitutes coordination of care?​

Accepted Answer

Referring a client to a community agency for access to food sources constitutes coordination of care. Coordination of care refers to the intentional organization of healthcare activities among healthcare providers, services, and facilities to ensure the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective care. In this example, the healthcare provider is referring the client to a community agency to improve the client's access to food. This collaborative effort between healthcare providers and community agencies is an example of healthcare coordination.
