Please Help Fast THIS IS A BIOLOGY QUESTION ?
As a registered dietitian at Jones Hospital, you are instructed to write a policy statement on nutrition assessment procedures for all new patients. Which of the following are the most useful parameters for the nutrition assessment of individuals?
A. Diet recall, food likes and dislikes, allergies, favorite family recipes
B. Anthropometric data, physical examinations, food likes and dislikes, family tree
C. Diet record that includes what the patient usually eats, which will provide sufficient information
D. Historical information, anthropometric data, physical examinations, laboratory tests
Hey! I’m currently in a Medical Nutrition class working on things like this.
I know it’s not A and definitely not C.
Depending on the situation, we like to know their diet history as far as how frequently they like to enjoy certain foods so B could be a possibility but I’m saying that D would be the strongest answer.
We generally try to use the anthropometric data to see how they are comparing to where they should be, the physical examinations to medically compare, laboratory test bring us a great amount of useful information because we’re able to see what nutrients are in the blood or urine or fecal matter. The historical information can be varied so if it can imply a diet history then that is the answer. It also can show the certain conditions that run in the family which helps for preparing the diet and education for that person.
Hope that helps!

The form and content of the question suggests that this is an assignment for someone studying to be a registered dietitian. I would hate to think that people’s lives are to be put in the hands of someone who thinks nutrition and diet are simple biology questions.
The proper answer is self evident. Think it out yourself. You are trying to become a professional after all.
