...Dear nutrition student, Thank you for inquiring about my RD/DTR study guide. And yes, there is no catch, the study guide is COMPLETELY FREE! All I ask for is some feedback. So feel free to shoot me any questions/comments! A little background: This study guide is the culmination of years of my own research. And after careful thought, I put into the study guide what I feel are the most important concepts you need to know for the RD/DTR exam. If you notice, I spent much time teaching you in detail the concepts you need to know, not just “spitting” you questions with little or no explanation. I believe this is important. I know you might be thinking “oh, how am I going to absorb and learn all this material?” I say, just read and answer the questions at your own pace. Simply test yourself and of course take some breaks along the way. Just take it one concept at a time. After you have mastered one concept, then move on to the next. I know if you study whole-heartedly what I have outlined in this study guide, you are sure to pass! GOOD LUCK! YOU CAN DO IT! ϑ Your nutrition friend, -Jonathan Brown, B.S, DTR THE “NO FLUFF” RD/DTR STUDY GUIDE *Updated as of July 2011 The “NO FLUFF” RD/DTR STUDY GUIDE Tips for taking the RD/DTR exam 1.

...Drug Testing – An Introduction Despite recent and strong empirical evidence proving employment-based drug screenings do not increase productivity – and in many cases may even adversely affect productivity – more and more employers continue to require a clean drug screening for consideration of employment. If you are applying for a job, the chances are good that you will need to take a drug test. While a few industries are still considered “safe” from drug testing (namely, restaurant and hospitality), this is by no means an industry standard. Larger offices are particularly diligent in their drug testing efforts. If your prospective employer has around 100 employees or has government or private financial backing, you can bet your bottom dollar that you will be tested; if not for pre-employment, then at some point during your tenure with that company. To simplify things, your prospective employer is only testing for illegal drugs during a drug screening. They cannot, by law, test for pregnancy or medical conditions during a drug test. Thankfully, prospective employers cannot run your urine, hair, saliva or blood and see what substances or activities in which you have engaged over the last ten years. Such actions are not only illegal – they are currently impossible. In this Guide, you will learn how long the chemical traces, or metabolites, stay in your system (for example, marijuana can stay in your blood stream for as long as two months!). The Department of Defense requires...

...Advance concept of nursing I Unit 1 Nursing process The nursing process is an organized sequence of problem solving steps used to identify and to manage the health problems of clients .The nursing process is the framework for nursing care in all health care settings.When nursing practice follows the nursing process, clients receive quality care in minimal time with maximal efficiency. The steps of nursing process 1)Assesment 2)Diagnosis 3)Planning 4)Implementation 5)Evaluation Assessment An RN uses a systematic, dynamic way to collect and analyze data about a client, the first step in delivering nursing care. Assessment includes not only physiological data, but also psychological, sociocultural, spiritual, economic, and life-style factors as well. For example, a nurse’s assessment of a hospitalized patient in pain includes not only the physical causes and manifestations of pain, but the patient’s response—an inability to get out of bed, refusal to eat, withdrawal from family members, anger directed at hospital staff, fear, or request for more pain mediation. Diagnosis The nursing diagnosis is the nurse’s clinical judgment about the client’s response to actual or potential health conditions or needs. The diagnosis reflects not only that the patient is in pain, but that the pain has caused other problems such as anxiety, poor nutrition, and conflict within the family, or has the potential to cause complications—for example, respiratory infection is a potential hazard...
