Protein Deficiency and Malnutrition Quiz

Protein = Nutrient important for body functions Calories = Units of energy in food Carbohydrates = Source of energy for the body Food scarcity = Lack of food availability due to poverty

Swallowing enough protein = Importance of protein intake Food scarcity due to poverty = Reason for inadequate nutrition Increase in protein intake = Overcoming nutritional deficiencies Nutrient deficiency = Inadequate intake of essential nutrients

Protein = Supports body functions and tissue repair Calories = Provide energy for bodily activities Carbohydrates = Main source of energy for the body Vitamins and minerals = Essential for various biochemical reactions

Low food availability = Inadequate nutrient intake Inadequate nutrition = Health issues and deficiencies Protein deficiency = Impaired body functions and growth Calorie deficit = Lack of energy for daily activities

Food scarcity = Improved access to nutritious food sources Nutrient deficiencies = Balanced diet and supplementation Low protein intake = Consuming more protein-rich foods Calorie shortage = Eating calorie-dense foods

Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) = A form of severe malnutrition characterized by edema and hepatomegaly with fatty infiltration Undernutrition = Occurs when there is inadequate intake of calories and protein, mainly due to acute serious illnesses Nutritional rehabilitation = The use of strong nutritional support to restore balance quickly Severe wasting = Results in secondary diseases such as diarrhea, pneumonia, and respiratory infections

Edema and hepatomegaly with fatty infiltration = Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) Severe wasting = Undernutrition Secondary diseases like diarrhea and pneumonia = Severe wasting Gradual progress of nutritional rehabilitation = Nutritional rehabilitation

Inadequate intake of calories and protein = Undernutrition Acute serious illnesses = Undernutrition Lack of sufficient calorie intake but inadequate protein consumption = Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) Mainly caused by acute serious illnesses = Undernutrition

Strong nutritional support = Nutritional rehabilitation Restoring balance quickly = Nutritional rehabilitation Slow initiation and gradual progress of nutritional rehabilitation = Nutritional rehabilitation Aimed at children experiencing severe wasting = Nutritional rehabilitation

Diarrhea, pneumonia, respiratory infections = Severe wasting Edema, hepatomegaly with fatty infiltration = Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) Results in secondary diseases like diarrhea and pneumonia = Severe wasting Common in children with severe wasting = Severe wasting

Initiation of nutritional rehabilitation is slow and progresses gradually = Nutritional rehabilitation Occurs when there is inadequate intake of calories and protein due to acute serious illnesses = Undernutrition Characterized by edema and hepatomegaly with fatty infiltration = Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) The use of strong nutritional support for quick balance restoration = Nutritional rehabilitation

Protein = An essential component of all living cells Enzymes = Facilitate specific chemical reactions Amino acids = Building blocks of proteins Hemoglobin = Transports oxygen in the blood

Transportation of lipids = Albumin transports free fatty acids Balance of fluids = Proteins regulate fluid balance by creating osmotic pressure Acid-base balance = Amino acids can act as acids or bases based on the pH of the fluid Synthesis of proteins = Complex process that rapidly assembles amino acids into needed proteins

Thrombin = Essential for blood clotting Tryptophan = Precursor to serotonin and niacin Tyrosine = Precursor to melanin and thyroid hormone Urea = Formed from nitrogenous waste of proteins

Protein turnover = Replacement of old proteins by breaking them down and rebuilding them within cells Metabolic pool = Reservoir of free amino acids inside cells that circulate in the blood Nitrogen balance = Comparison between nitrogen intake and excretion in the body Protein sources = Quality varies based on essential amino acid content

Complete proteins = Provide sufficient amounts of all essential amino acids Incomplete proteins = Lack adequate levels of one or more essential amino acids Complementary proteins = Two proteins combined provide all necessary essential amino acids for protein synthesis Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) = Daily protein intake recommended for healthy adults (0.8 - 1 g/kg)

Osteoporosis = Linked to high-protein diets Kidney stones = Challenges for excess protein intake Imbalanced amino acids = Can interfere with absorption of other amino acids Toxicity risk = Increased risk with abnormally high levels of amino acids in blood

Iron, Zinc, Calcium = Nutrients of concern in plant-based diets Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Iodine = Nutrients that may be lacking in plant-based diets Omega-3 fatty acids = Essential nutrient found in plant-based diets Protein powders and amino acid supplements = May provide imbalanced amino acids

Heart disease prevention = Potential benefit of plant-based diets Type 2 diabetes prevention = Possible advantage of plant-based diets Hypertension control = Benefit that can be achieved with a plant-based diet Obesity prevention = Health benefit associated with plant-based nutrition

Imbalanced amino acids = Can restrict protein synthesis Increased concentration of one amino acid = May hinder absorption of other amino acids Amino acid toxicity in blood = Poses a risk for poisoning due to high levels Essential amino acids scarcity = Can lead to compromised protein synthesis

Excessive protein intake challenges kidneys = Can strain the kidneys due to unnecessary protein levels Amino acid supplements may provide limited variety = Often lack a diverse range of essential amino acids Imbalance in amino acids can hinder protein synthesis = Disruption in amino acid balance may impede protein creation High levels of certain amino acids can lead to toxicity = Abnormal concentration of specific amino acids may be toxic

Iron deficiency = Associated with inadequate plant-based diet Vitamin B12 deficiency = Common issue in plant-based nutrition Iodine deficiency = Risk when not adequately included in plant-based diets Calcium deficiency = Possible consequence of insufficient plant-based diet

Protein = Macro-nutrient essential for building and repairing tissues RDA = Recommended Dietary Allowance for nutrients Amino Acids = Building blocks of proteins Vegan Diet = Plant-based eating plan that excludes all animal products

Kidney Failure = Restrict protein intake due to nitrogen buildup Liver Diseases = Limit protein consumption in acute cases Pregnancy and Breastfeeding = Require adequate protein for all stages Specific Medical Diagnosis = Adjust protein intake based on individual needs

Soy Protein Isolate = High biological value comparable to animal proteins Fruits = Typically low in protein content Nuts and Seeds = Provide essential amino acids but are fat-rich Whole Grains = Contain some protein but not a primary source

Balanced Nitrogen Equilibrium = Indicates sufficient protein intake and utilization Low-Cost Protein Foods = Alternative to meat for cost-effective protein sources Plant-Based Diets = Require proper planning for adequate nutrition Educated Consumer = Understands the benefits of plant-based nutrition

Healthy Adult Weighing 165 Pounds = Recommended Daily Allowance question Client Seeking Cost-Effective Protein Sources = Inquiry about budget-friendly proteins Patient with Certain Medical Conditions = Need to adjust protein intake based on diagnosis Knowledgeable Consumer on Plant Proteins = Understands the value of plant-based diets

Biological Value of Proteins = Indicator of protein quality based on amino acid profile Complete Protein Sources = Foods providing all essential amino acids in adequate amounts Nitrogen Balance Regulation = Control mechanism for managing nitrogen excretion in the body Plant-Based Protein Alternatives = Options for non-animal sources of dietary proteins
