ATI Proctored Nutrition Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
A Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) program would address which element of food service?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) programs are designed to ensure food safety by identifying and controlling potential hazards. This includes addressing the cleaning and disinfecting of utensils to prevent contamination and maintain safe food handling practices. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because HACCP primarily focuses on preventing food safety hazards rather than developing menus, controlling calorie intake, or prescribing diets for specific medical conditions.
Question 2 of 5
Why are LDLs known as the 'bad' type of cholesterol?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) is known as the 'bad' type of cholesterol because it deposits cholesterol on the walls of arteries, leading to plaque formation and narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis). This narrowing can restrict blood flow and increase the risk of serious cardiovascular conditions. The statement and the reason are directly related because the adherence of LDL to arterial walls and the subsequent narrowing of the lumen are the primary reasons why it is considered detrimental to heart health. Choice B is incorrect because the statement and reason are related. Choice C is incorrect because both the statement and the reason are correct. Choice D is incorrect because the statement correctly identifies LDL as the 'bad' type of cholesterol due to its actions in the arteries.
