Who among the following would be the BEST candidate for proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9? A patient with coronary artery disease, a low-density lipoprotein level of 75 mg/dL, and taking Atorvastatin A patient who cannot tolerate statins A woman with type 2 diabetes and microvascular disease who is currently on a statin A patient with herterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH)
A patient with herterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) PCSK9 inhibitors are expensive medications that can significantly reduce LDL. The patient with coronary artery disease doesn't need PCSK9, as the statin has achieved the LDL target. The patient who cannot tolerate statins is not a candidate for PCSK9 because Zetia (Ezetimibe) can be used in combination with stanols/sterols. The woman with type 2 diabetes is not a candidate because a high-intensity statin would be the preferred medication.

Which of the following phrases is the best example of how a dietetics practitioner should reiterate to the client information about his or her dietary intake of calcium? "The amount of calcium you eat is low." "Your dietary intake of calcium increases your risk for developing osteoporosis." "You eat one serving of a calcium-rich food each day and the experts tell us to eat three." "People who eat one serving of a calcium-rich food each day are at an increased risk for osteoporosis."
"People who eat one serving of a calcium-rich food each day are at an increased risk for osteoporosis." Making a general response is less accusatory. This response shows that, in general, all individuals with limited calcium intake—not just the client—are at increased risk.

1,4 α glucosidic linkages in addition to 1,6 α glucosidic linkage Amylopectin is the branched fraction of starch. The presence of 1,4 α glucosidic linkages that are linear, interrupted by occasional 6 α glucosidic linkages results in a very large branched structure.
This enzyme found in the kidney is needed for the conversion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 to the active form. 25-hydroxylase 24-hydroxylase 1- hydroxylase 22-hydroxylase
1- hydroxylase The 1-hydroxylase enzyme is found in highest concentrations in the kidneys and is responsible for converting 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (its active form). 25-hydroxylase is the enzyme responsible for the first required hydroxylation of D3 and is found in the liver. 24-hydroxylase is responsible for the breakdown of the vitamin.

As you are taking the nutrition history of a 60-year-old obese male (body mass index 39) referred to you for weight management, his wife states he snores loudly, is often sleepy during the day, and will often doze off in the evening while watching cable TV. You also observe that he has a large neck circumference. What is your first step? Administer the STOP-BANG test to assess for sleep apnea Refer the patient for a sleep study Recommend 10% body weight loss Recommend the patient sleep on his back
Administer the STOP-BANG test to assess for sleep apnea STOP-BANG is an acronym for Snoring-Tired-Observed-Pressure-Body mass index more than 35 kg/m2-Age older than 50—Neck size large-Gender=male. It is an easy test for an RDN to administer and can help patients understand their risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It would be premature to refer the patient to a sleep study because you don't yet know if the patient has OSA, and the referral may need to come from a primary care physician. Although you would want to recommend a 10% body weight loss, it isn't the first step in this scenario. Counseling the patient to sleep on his back isn't likely to help the problem.

A patient has an alpha-gal allergy. Which of the following foods should be avoided? Fried chicken Hamburger Almond milk Whole grain bread
Burger Alpha-gal is a relatively newly identified allergy that is thought to be caused by Lone Star ticks carried by deer in rural and urban areas.

What decision-making technique focuses on the highest gains with the smallest amount of losses, regardless of what the competitor does? Game theory Simulation Artificial Intelligence Queuing theory
Game theory A variety of decision-making techniques have been developed. Game theory introduces a competitive note to decision-making by bringing into a situation the actions of an opponent. The objective is to obtain the highest gains with the smallest amount of losses, regardless of what a competitor does. Simulation utilizes devices for imitating real-life occurrences and studying their properties, behaviors, and operating characteristics (eg, virtual reality). Artificial intelligence attempts to duplicate the thought processes of experienced decision makers (eg, expert systems). Queuing balances the cost of waiting lines against the cost of preventing them by expanding facilities.

Which of the following statements is true with regard to NPIs (national provider identifiers)? NPI requirements are no longer applicable if a billing agency is responsible for transactions. NPI numbers change if an RDN moves from one state to another If an NPI isn't used within 12 months, it is automatically deactivated Individual practitioners who don't meet HIPAA coverage criteria may still need an NPI.
Individual practitioners who don't meet HIPAA coverage criteria may still need an NPI. The NPI is a unique, 10-digit number that identifies a health care provider; the NPI is specific to an individual and doesn't change. An EIN number is separate from an NPI and is important if you are working in private practice. All health care providers (individuals or organizations) who are HIPAA-covered entities are required by law to obtain an NPI when transmitting electronic health information in connection with HIPAA standard transactions, even if the transaction is prepared by a third-party billing agency. And some individuals who don't meet HIPAA coverage criteria may still be required to obtain an NPI. RDNs who work in a private practice setting need to these specific numbers to assist with "credentialing" or becoming a recognized health care provider of an insurance plan. The Academy encourages all members to obtain an NPI to ensure there are adequate numbers of RDNs who can provide service.

Adolescents have a higher prevalence of iron deficiency because of their increased iron needs to support the rapid growth that occurs at this point in the lifespan.
Intake of _____ should be carefully monitored in patients with kidney disease because phosphorous is more easily absorbed from this source. Dairy Meat Inorganic phosphate food additive Whole grains
Inorganic phosphate food additive Dietary phosphorus is found in organic and inorganic sources. Organic sources are animal and vegetarian; inorganic sources are food preservatives. A concern for patients with chronic kidney disease is that the body could absorb as much as 100% of inorganic phosphorus via processed foods.

Emphasize intake of plant-based proteins and foods containing no inorganic phosphorus additives in these patients.

What is the recommendation for a patient who has tested positive for a soy allergy based on a blood test but does not react when consuming tofu, even in larger amounts? Continue to consume tofu, but switch to low-fat tofu Limit tofu to once per month because eating it frequently might promote a reaction Repeat the blood test Continue to consume the tofu
Limit tofu to once per month because eating it frequently might promote a reaction Blood tests and skin prick testing for food allergies reflect sensitization to an allergen but not clinical response.
