Proctored Nutrition ATI

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Excessive supplementation of calcium and vitamin D beyond the upper intake level is not recommended unless under medical supervision, as it can cause adverse health effects.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, conducting nutrition assessments. Registered dietitians are responsible for assessing an individual's nutritional status, dietary intake, and health needs. This assessment forms the basis for developing personalized nutrition care plans. Choices A and B involve the administration of specialized nutrition support, which is typically done by healthcare providers with specific training in those areas. Choice C, prescribing diet orders, may fall outside the scope of practice for a dietitian as they focus more on assessment, education, and counseling related to nutrition rather than prescribing medical treatments.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Individuals with lactose intolerance lack the enzyme lactase needed to break down lactose. Milk contains lactose, a sugar found in dairy products, and should be avoided by individuals with lactose intolerance. Choices A, C, and D are not sources of lactose and are generally well-tolerated by individuals with lactose intolerance.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: corn chips. Corn chips, especially those processed and fried, are a common source of trans fats, which are associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Red meat (choice A) and salmon (choice D) do not typically contain trans fats unless they are processed or cooked in trans fat-containing oils. Peanut oil (choice B) can be a healthier option compared to trans fat-containing oils.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: vomiting. Infants breastfed by mothers who smoke are more likely to experience vomiting and gastrointestinal issues due to the transfer of nicotine and other harmful substances through breast milk. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Poor temperature regulation, vision impairment, and elevated blood pressure are not the primary outcomes closely associated with breastfeeding infants of mothers who smoke.
