 Nutritional screening is a tool to rapidly and simply evaluate whether the patient is at risk to be or to become malnourished? 

Normal body cell mass (BCM) is the major determinant of an adequate nutritional state? 

Plasma albumin level  is part of the NRS 2002 screening tool?

Functional impairment and dietary change are evaluated in “Subjective Global Assessment”? 

Serum biochemistry is necessary for “Subjective Global Assessment”?

Skin fold measurements for an estimation of body fat content are usually done at 4 sites? 

Most of nutritional laboratory parameters are very good markers to detect malnutrition?

Albumin is a good parameter for assessment of malnutrition because it has a short half live time and it is not affected by hydration status and is independent of liver function? 

Hypoalbuminaemia before operation does not predict surgical complications?

Skin tests (DHR) and lymphopenia are excellent nutritional markers because they are tightly related to recent food intake? 

Iron deficiency should be considered in patients with microcytic anemia and dyspepsia?

Zinc deficiency should be considered in patients who have wound healing problems? 

The two compartment model consists of fat mass and fat  free body mass?

In the four compartment model, three compartments are measured by three different methods, the fourth is calculated

. Urinary creatinine excretion correlates with muscle mass but is influenced by renal function and meat intake.

Total body fat mass is more important than muscle mass for survival of critical illness? 

Fat free mass (FFM) is not a good indicator of body cell mass (BCM) in severe disease or malnutrition because of fluid shifts.  

BIA gives also adequate results in patients with a BMI <16 and >35? 

Undernutrition can be practically excluded in acutely ill severely  obese patients? 

Waist circumference connected with increased risk of metabolic syndrome is more than 80 cm in women and more than 94 cm in men? 

Nitrogen balance measurement is not influenced by renal and hepatic functions?

Nitrogen balance can be used for estimation of the adequacy of protein intake?

Systemic inflammatory response is not connected with increased gluconeogenesis?

Respiratory quotient (RQ) can help us to calculate substrate oxidation?  

If fat is oxidized as a sole substrate, the RQ value equals 1?   

Energy expenditure is more determined by fat free mass than fat mass (FFM)?  

 Energy expenditure can be directly measured using Oxygen consumption and C0₂ production and indirectly estimated by measuring of the heart rate?  

In an acute situation a negative energy balance is connected with increased  lipolysis and release of fatty acids? 

Indirect calorimetry is the best method for the measurement of energy expenditure? 

Abdominal adipose tissue is a risk factor for cardiac diseases and stroke?
