I have read and understand that as of Jan. 1, 2024, this program's accreditation with the CDR for dietitians, has expired. No credits will be offered until it has been renewed. At that time, it will have a new CDR activity #.

The following statement about fetal growth macronutrient requirements are true except which one?
Protein requirement decreases as fetal growth and gestational age advance.
The PE ration, grams of protein per 100kcal of energy, decreases as fetal growth and gestational age advance in utero.
Energy requirement decreases as fetal growth and gestational age advance.
Protein requirement for ELBW infants less than 1000g approximates 4.0g/k/d from Ziegler reference data.

What are the strengths and limitations of the information presented?
10.
What are the identified gaps in the information provided? (Ex: outcomes that apply to a specific patient/client population; limited data in gender, age, other races, etc.)

Human milk protein is lower in donor milk from women donating their milk to a milk bank over the first months of lacataion vs. a VLBW (less than 1500g BW) infants mother's milk the first weeks of lactation.
True
False

For the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) requires a Critical Thinking Tool to complete the accreditation process for dietitians. For nurses, this evaluation is also required and will serve as the program evaluation.

Which of the following statements about protein, energy and fat in the VLBW infant is NOT true?
Dietary protein increases lean body mass.
Dietary protein increases fat mass when fed at protein requirement.
Dietary fat increases fat mass.
To promote lean body mass and limit fass mass in the VLBW infants, we must try to feed them with higher PE ratios, g of protein per 1oo kcal of energy.
14.
The following statements about human milk and human milk fortification are true except for which one?
Fat is the most variable macronutrient in human milk.
Protein increases in the milk from women providing preterm milk for their VLBW infant as lactation proceeds over the first few weeks of life.
Calcium is deficient in human milk provided both in donor and mother's own milk for the VLBW infant.
Protein does not meet the requirement for VLBW infants in either their own mother's milk or from donor milk.
15.
Which of the following statements is not true?
If human milk is unavailable for a VLBW infant (own mother's milk or donor milk), a higher protein-containing preterm formula should be used.
Fortification of human milk increases amounts of nutrients provided to the VLBW infant.
Higher protein-containing preterm formulas vs. a standard preterm formula increases nitrogen absorption and nitrogen retention.
Dietary protein that meets estimated requirements for VLBW infants will promote lean body mass while decreasing velocity of weight gain.
