Provide the best answer to each question.  You will need to access the MyFitnessPal app or a similar resource that lists the carbohydrate content of foods to complete a question on this quiz.  You will have 90 minutes to complete the quiz. 

Jeff is a 175 pound man about to go on a 90-minute run.  Knowing how important post event nutrition is, recommend a post workout snack to maximize glycogen replenishment.  For each food/beverage item, list the quantity and grams of carbohydrate.

Use this audiogram to complete the following series of questions.    

Your patient has significant middle ear disease from chronic otitis media, resulting in a moderate (50 dB HL) flat conductive hearing loss bilaterally. You are measuring acoustic reflexes using a 95 dB HL activator tone. Which of the following pattern of results would you expect?

In a conductive hearing loss, bone-conduction thresholds are ________ and air-conduction thresholds are ________. (Hint: elevated means outside the range of normal/in the range of hearing loss).

Consuming a large amount of protein (above recommendations) at one meal likely leads to greater acute muscle protein synthesis compared to a more modest amount of protein.

If an adult male is on a reduced-calorie diet and trying to build muscle, he should consume protein above the normal recommended range.
