Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) - ANSThe correct answer is C.
The FDA regulates use of food additives—including coloring agents considered safe for human
consumption and additives that are considered safe for human consumption or generally

that is not deemed safe is considered an adulterated food by FDA standards.
Which of the following characteristics is key to an efficient and effective system?
Continuous response and adaptation to the system
Flow of resources
Interdependency of parts
Achievement of subunit objectives - ANSThe correct answer is C.
A system is a collection of interrelated parts or subsystems unified by design to obtain one or
more objectives. Interdependency is the reciprocal relationship of the parts of a system; each
part mutually affects the performance of the others. Interdependency emphasizes the
importance of viewing the organization as a whole rather than as isolated parts. The other
responses (ie, continuous response and adaptation to a system, flow of resources through a
system, and achievement of subunit objectives) all are isolated parts of a system.
One advantage of using a crossover design over a parallel design is
a shorter study duration.
a smaller sample size.
a reduction in variability.
a washout period is not needed. - ANSThe correct answer is C.
Crossover design includes a washout period and does not have to be a shorter study duration,
and sample size does not have to be small. The design uses the same subjects who serve as
the control, hence a reduction in variability.

Reference Daily Intakes.
Recommended Dietary Intakes.
Reference Dietary Allowances.
Recommended Daily Allowances. - ANSThe correct answer is A.
, Daily Values are nutrient standards derived from the Daily Reference Values (DRV) and
Reference Daily Intakes (RDI). DRVs are provided for total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, total
carbohydrate, dietary fiber, sodium, potassium, and protein. RDIs are provided for vitamins;
minerals; and protein for children younger than 4 years of age and for pregnant and lactating
women. In order to limit consumer confusion, however, the label includes a single term (ie, Daily
Value [DV]), to designate both the DRVs and RDIs.

If a person with type 1 diabetes experiences dramatically low blood glucose and becomes
unconscious, the most appropriate action would be to
give three hard candies and administer insulin.
give 4 oz fruit juice and administer insulin.
give 4 oz fruit juice and administer glucagon.
administer glucagon and call 9-1-1.. - ANSThe correct answer is D.
Since the patient is unconscious/unresponsive, glucagon should be administered as the first-line
treatment. A glucagon injection will mobilize glucose from the liver to raise the blood sugar level.
This treatment minimizes risk of choking for patients who are not conscious. Contact emergency
services immediately after administering the glucagon injection.
Which agency determines the safety of new pesticides and sets a tolerance level for all
pesticides and their residue in food?
Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)
US Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - ANSThe correct answer is D.
The EPA is responsible for determining the safety of any pesticide before it can be used on a
commodity food. Once approved for use, the EPA is responsible for setting tolerable residue
limits for pesticides on food. Once these tolerance levels are set by the EPA, enforcement is
overseen by the FDA.
