This condition happens then there is a problem with the blood-forming ability of the body to due to lack of essential mineral and related nutrients
Anemia
The most established role of Vitamin A is
Vision
A person's cognitive behavior, mental capcity, resistance to infection can be affected by
Anemia
The most common micronutrient deficiency in the Philippines today
Iron deficiency anemia
The most cost-effective intervention to prevent and control lodine Deficiency Disorders
lodized salt
This nutrition system determines the present nutritional status of individuals and populations
Survey
A method of assessment that involves follow up of malnourished children in community are followed up:
Surveillance
Nutritional assessment is the first step of global care called
Nutrition Care Process
Before getting weight data, a nutritionist should first
Locate a flat surface
Height measurement done in children less than two years is termed as
Recumbent length
An important screening procedure for detecting abnormalities of head and brain growth during the first year of life.
Head over chest circumference
This tool allows comparison of weight, height, and other physical development measures of children with others of the same sex and age measured at certain time intervals.
Growth chart
The reference weight used to compare the weight of a child
50th percentile
Using percentile values of anthropometric measures, malnourished children would be at
5th percentile
The growth reference for used in the Philippines among children 0-5 years.
WHO Child Growth Standard
The z-score of weight-for-age of a three-year old girl is at -2.5. This value classifies the child as
Moderately underweight
To be classified normal using z-scores of weight-for-age, a child should be
Within -2 to +2SD
In the WHO CGS, calculation of weight for age needs information on:
All of these
The BMI of an adult was computed to be 23.99. In the Asia Pacific classification, BMI is classified as:
Overweight
An adult to be called as chronic energy deficit (CED) should have a BMI level of
<18.5
A two-year old boy measured by a Barangay Nutrition Scholar had a MUAC of 13.2 cm. In the absence of weight data, this could be interpreted as:
Normal
Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is the term for cases among children with
Any of these

Android obese
The 6.5% prevalence of wasting among children was determined from a national survey. Would this data indicate a public health problem?
High
A nutritionist assigned in an evaluation area with 2, 000 children wanted to know who are the malnourished to be included in a supplementary feeding program. Considering the urgency and lack of equipment, what is the most appropriate measure to take?
MUAC
When the plotted weights of a child shows flattening, it indicates
Warning sign, a need to identify the cause
A measure of body composition which uses air displacement method to get body density
Bod Pod using plethysmography
A method that delivers a beam of neutrons to the subject, creating unstable isotopes that emit gamma radiation whose energy level identifies the element. This method detects:

A method to detect the amount of fat by imaging technique
Computer tomography
The gold standard in measuring energy expenditure
Doubly labelled water
In biochemical assessment of nutritional status, static test measures the amount of nutrient or metabolite in the sample. Which of these is as a static test?
Vitamin A
The creatinine excretion & creatinine-height index of muscle mass & therefore can determine adequacy or deficiency of
Protein
When iron supply is limited, there is an increase in the level of this metabolite
Erythrocyte protoporphyrin
How low should the hemoglobin of a preschool child 2 years of age to be called "anemic"?
< 11 mg%
Among Filipino adolescents, the 14% prevalence of anemia indicates
Moderate
The 24-hour urinary nitrogen is used as a biomarker for intake of

The indicator used assess Vitamin B6 status in the previous nutrition survey
Plasma or erythrocyte Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate
One strategy to develop human resource for preventing malnutrition
Empowerment women
In a study that aims to measure the effect of selected diets for underweight children initial method of assessment is
