Chapter 1: Nutrition in Health
1. The nurse has been asked to speak on diet and nutrition at a local community
center. During the presentation, the nurse discusses the importance of Adequate
Intake. Which of the following should the nurse be sure to include regarding this topic?
A. The primary purpose of the Adequate Intake is to provide the optimal level of
intake for all nutrients.
B. The primary purpose of the Adequate Intake is to help people calculate an
estimate of daily nutritional intake.
C. The primary purpose of the Adequate Intake is to have a way to compare
nutritional patterns to the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA).
D. The primary purpose of the Adequate Intake is to provide a nutritional goal for
individuals to try to achieve.
ANS: D
Rationale: The primary purpose of Adequate Intake is to provide a goal for the nutrient
intake of individuals. It is a recommended average daily intake level that is expected
to meet or exceed the needs of virtually all members of a specific group based on
observed or experimentally determined estimates of nutrient intake by groups of
healthy people. Adequate Intake is set when an RDA cannot be determined due to lack
of sufficient data on requirements; it does not provide the optimal level of intake for all
nutrients, nor a method to calculate the estimated daily nutritional intake. Adequate
Intake amounts supplement information provided by the RDA and cannot be
compared.

, 2. Part of the Dietary Reference Intakes is the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL).
Which of the following would be the correct explanation for the nurse to provide the
client regarding these amounts?
A. The UL is the recommended level of intake for that nutrient.
B. The UL is the highest level of daily nutrient intake that is likely to pose no risk
of adverse health effects.
C. The UL is the nutrient intake amount determined to be most beneficial for
preventing chronic disease.
D. The UL is the estimated amount of nutrient that will meet the needs of 90% of
a given population.
ANS: B
Rationale: The UL is the highest level of average daily nutrient intake that is likely to
pose no risk of adverse health effects to almost all individuals in the general
population.

healthy adults.

C. The DRI identify intake levels necessary to cure chronic health conditions.
D. The DRI specify nutrient intake levels corresponding to adequacy and toxicity.
