Question 1

A renal dietitian uses continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data for a diabetic dialysis patient. Which finding would most directly inform a dietary potassium intervention?

Accepted Answer

Postprandial glucose spikes after high-fruit meals

Answer

Postprandial spikes after high-fruit meals indicate fruit consumption, which also contributes significant dietary potassium in CKD patients.

Question 2

Which interoperability standard is most commonly used to enable dietary software to exchange data directly with hospital EHR systems?

Accepted Answer

HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources)

Answer

HL7 FHIR is the current standard for real-time, structured electronic health data exchange between software systems including dietary tools and EHRs.

Question 3

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?

Accepted Answer

24-hour urine sodium measurement ordered and reviewed via patient portal

Answer

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.

Question 4

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?

Accepted Answer

Short video modules with visual demonstrations and plain language

Answer

Short videos with visual demonstrations are more effective than text-heavy materials for patients with low health literacy.

Question 5

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?

Accepted Answer

Combination of recent serum potassium trend, dietary intake records, and medication changes

Answer

Combining lab trends, dietary records, and medication changes provides a multifactorial input that best predicts hyperkalemia risk in CKD patients.
