Question 2

A renal dietitian wants to use a validated mobile app to assist a dialysis patient with phosphorus management. Which characteristic is most critical to evaluate first?

Accepted Answer

Whether the food database includes phosphorus and phosphorus additive content

Answer

Accuracy and completeness of phosphorus data, including additives, is paramount because inorganic phosphate additives are highly bioavailable and clinically significant in CKD.

Question 3

In telehealth-delivered MNT for CKD patients, which barrier is most likely to disproportionately affect elderly dialysis patients?

Accepted Answer

Digital literacy and comfort with video platforms

Elderly patients often have lower digital literacy, making navigation of video platforms a significant barrier to telehealth participation.

Question 4

Which type of clinical decision support (CDS) tool would best alert a renal dietitian when a patient's serum potassium exceeds a critical threshold between appointments?

Accepted Answer

An automated EHR alert triggered by lab value rules

Answer

Automated EHR alerts use predefined rules to flag critical lab values in real time, enabling timely dietary intervention.

Question 5

A renal dietitian is evaluating a dietary analysis software for use in an outpatient CKD clinic. Which database characteristic is most important for accuracy in this population?

Accepted Answer

Comprehensive listing of potassium, phosphorus, and sodium values including processed foods

Answer
