... [Show More] during Weeks 1 – 5 of the semester. Thisincludes Chapters 2, 4, 7, and 8 of Krause plus
supporting readings. You should be able to explain each of the bulleted items below.
• Note the differences between a nutritional screen and nutritional assessment. What is the
purpose of each? What are some types of nutritionalscreening tools? What are characteristics
of screening tools?
• What are the parts of a nutritional assessment and how are they used?
• What are the different types of dietary intake assessment tools? What are strengths and
limitations of each?
• How is energy expenditure measured? What is the most accurate methods? What is used
clinically?
• How does the body expend energy? What are the factorsthat affect how much energy we
expend over time and day-to-day?
• What does respiratory quotient mean? How is it measured? What does it tell you about the
types of fuel being metabolized? What are factors that raise and reduce the RQ?
• What does BMR or BEE meant? How is it different than REE and TEE? What conditions are
necessary to reach a basal rate of energy expenditure?
• When does BMR change through out the life cycle and why?
• What methods are used to estimate a person’s energy needs? Compare the strengths of
recommended equations. See the Krause text and the Nutrition Care Manual.
• Know the common types of lab tests, i.e. CBC, BMP, CMP, urinalysis and the values on each. For
example, where would you find measures of protein status?
• What are positive and negative acute-phase reactants? How are these affected by
