A renal dietitian uses continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data for a diabetic dialysis patient. Which finding would most directly inform a dietary potassium intervention?
Answer: Postprandial glucose spikes after high-fruit meals
Postprandial spikes after high-fruit meals indicate fruit consumption, which also contributes significant dietary potassium in CKD patients.
Which interoperability standard is most commonly used to enable dietary software to exchange data directly with hospital EHR systems?
Answer: HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources)
HL7 FHIR is the current standard for real-time, structured electronic health data exchange between software systems including dietary tools and EHRs.
A renal dietitian wants to objectively assess dietary sodium adherence between clinic visits. Which technology-based tool provides the most objective biochemical validation of sodium intake?
Answer: 24-hour urine sodium measurement ordered and reviewed via patient portal
A 24-hour urine sodium is the gold standard objective measure of dietary sodium intake, and reviewing results through the patient portal integrates technology into monitoring.
In a dialysis center deploying a digital patient education platform, which content format has the strongest evidence for improving dietary knowledge in low-health-literacy CKD patients?
Answer: Short video modules with visual demonstrations and plain language
Short videos with visual demonstrations are more effective than text-heavy materials for patients with low health literacy.
When a renal dietitian uses predictive analytics embedded in an EHR to identify patients at high risk for hyperkalemia, which data input is most clinically meaningful for the algorithm?
Answer: Combination of recent serum potassium trend, dietary intake records, and medication changes
Combining lab trends, dietary records, and medication changes provides a multifactorial input that best predicts hyperkalemia risk in CKD patients.
Which approach best supports medication-nutrient interaction surveillance when a CKD patient is prescribed a new phosphate binder via an EHR system?
Answer: Using EHR drug-nutrient interaction alerts integrated with the medication order entry system
Integrated drug-nutrient interaction alerts in the medication ordering system enable real-time notification to the dietitian when clinically relevant prescriptions are entered.
A renal dietitian is conducting a group telehealth education session for in-center hemodialysis patients on fluid restriction. Which platform feature is most important for engagement in this setting?
Answer: Interactive polling and Q&A features to allow real-time patient participation
Interactive polling and Q&A keep patients engaged during group telehealth education and allow the dietitian to assess comprehension in real time.
