Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. People with hyperuricemia (high levels of uric acid in the blood) are prescribed a low-purine diet or a purine-free diet because of the inability to metabolize and excrete purines. Which of these foods is high in purines?

Answer: Sweetbreads (Edible glands of an animal)

Hyperuricemia is a precursor to gout; the higher a person's urate level, the greater the risk for developing gout. Uric acid is an end-product created when the body breaks down substances called purines. Other foods that are high in purines include anchovies, sardines, organ meats, baker's yeast, brewer's yeast and mushrooms.
2. An individual with hypertension must be instructed to read labels of food products to determine sodium content.

Answer: True

Sodium attracts and holds water, leading to an increase in blood volume. Excess blood volume increases high blood pressure.


Other dietary restrictions for a person with hypetension include fat, calories and cholesterol.
3. Mr. WWW is diagnosed with ___________. He was instructed to follow a gluten-free diet.

Answer: Celiac disease

The protein gluten is poison to people with celiac disease. Gluten is present in barley, rye, oats and wheat. Special gluten-free breads and pastas are available. They are made with potato, rice, soy, or bean flour.
4. A fat-controlled diet is needed by Ms. YYY who developed a gastric dumping syndrome after having a surgery that removed part of her stomach.

Answer: False

She needs a carbohydrate-controlled diet. Dumping syndrome is usually worst after a high-carbohydrate diet. Gastric dumping syndrome, or rapid gastric emptying is a group of symptoms most likely to develop if you have had surgery to remove all or part of your stomach. After eating foods such as sugar, milk, sugary milk products or starchy carbohydrates that are rapidly dumped into the digestive tract, symptoms of dumping syndrome occur such as a cold clammy sweat, pallor, butterflies in the stomach and a pounding pulse. These symptoms may be followed by cramps and diarrhea. This state can last for 30-60 minutes.

A low-fat intake is a second priority in the diet of a person with this syndrome.
5. A clear liquid diet is usually started the day after surgery. It is a diet of fluids with minimal residues. Which of the following is the additional definition of clear liquid diet?

Answer: All of these

Also, clear liquids are those liquids you can see through at room temperature.

Here are some examples of clear liquids:
* Clear fruit juices with no pulp
* Clear broth, bouillon and fat-free consomme
* Clear coffee, tea, soda, water
* Fruit ices without the fruit, plain gelatin, clear hard candy, and popsicles made from clear juices.
6. The full liquid diet is not to be confused with the clear liquid diet. A full liquid diet is used as a transition between the clear liquid diet and solid foods.

Answer: True

The full liquid diet does have the calories and protein your body needs, whereas, the clear liquid diet does not.

If you are prescribed a full liquid diet you can eat food and drink liquids, such as:
* All fruit juices and nectars
* Bouillon, broth
* Carbonated beverages
* Coffee/Tea
* Fresh or frozen plain yogurt
* Milk, all types
* Plain gelatin desserts
* Potatoes pureed in soup
* Small amounts of strained meat in broth or gelatin
* Strained or blenderized soup
* Thin fruit purees
* Tomato puree for cream soup
* Vegetable juice
7. Which of these individuals needs fluid restriction?

Answer: All of them

People with these conditions have diminished ability to excrete fluid.
If the water content of the body reaches very high levels, the accumulating fluid causes the body to swell - starting at the ankles, due to gravity - and spreading up the body. Eventually, if not treated, the excess fluid will settle in the lungs, causing a life-threatening condition called pulmonary edema.

To keep thirst under control, gargling with ice cold water, sucking an ice cube, or chewing gum can be helpful.


Other conditions that require fluid restriction are hepatic coma, cirrhosis of the liver and cardiac disorders.
8. These foods have become points of controversy regarding the diet for people with diverticular disease.

Answer: Seeds and nuts

Some physicians recommended that a person with diverticular disease should avoid seeds and nuts because they fear that those particles could lodge in the diverticula and cause inflammation. That is now a controversial point and there is little evidence to support that recommendation.
9. The following are advised to follow a low-residue diet or low-fiber diet except:

Answer: Mrs. T who is diagnosed with heart disease

The low residue (fiber) diet is designed to avoid irritation of the gastrointestinal tract and to decrease bowel movements. It is used for people that are experiencing periods of diarrhea and abdominal cramping.


A person with heart disease needs a HIGH-residue diet or HIGH-fiber diet to help control blood cholesterol.
10. A high-protein diet assists with tissue repair and raises the level of blood albumin. Who benefits from this diet?

Answer: Both

Foods that are rich in protein are beef, chicken, fish, pork, eggs and dairy, beans, nuts and seeds.
