Krause’s Food & the Nutrition Care Process is one of the most demanding texts a dietetics or nursing student will meet — it moves from macronutrient biochemistry all the way to medical nutrition therapy for dozens of disease states, and it expects you to apply the four-step Nutrition Care Process (assessment, diagnosis, intervention, monitoring/evaluation) to real patients. Memorizing facts is not enough; you have to reason. This test bank, matched to the 13th Edition, gives you exam-style practice that mirrors how that reasoning is actually tested.
Why this test bank helps
Every question comes with a written rationale, so you learn why an answer is correct and why the tempting distractors are wrong. That is the difference between recognizing a term and being able to defend a nutrition diagnosis. Rationale-first questions turn passive reading of Krause into active recall, expose gaps before the exam does, and build the clinical judgment the NCP framework demands.

Who it’s for
This is built for dietetics and nutrition students using Krause’s 13th Edition in a medical nutrition therapy or nutrition care course, as well as nursing and allied-health students who study clinical nutrition. It is also a useful self-assessment tool for anyone preparing for RDN-style or course exams who wants targeted practice applying the Nutrition Care Process to patient scenarios.
How to use it (the right way)
Read the matched Krause chapter first, then attempt the questions closed-book. Mark anything you miss, read the rationale, and return to the textbook for that concept — the rationale points you back to what to review, it does not replace the reading. Use the case-style items to rehearse writing PES statements aloud. Academic-integrity note: this is a study and self-assessment aid. It is not intended for use during quizzes, exams, or any graded assessment, and it will not be identical to your instructor’s test. Always follow your institution’s academic honesty policy.
Sample question
(Shows the format — your download contains the full set.)
Q. A dietitian writes the nutrition diagnosis: “Excessive carbohydrate intake related to frequent consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages as evidenced by intake of 90 g added sugar per day and an HbA1c of 8.2%.” Which part of this PES statement represents the etiology?
- A. Excessive carbohydrate intake
- B. Frequent consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages
- C. Intake of 90 g added sugar per day
- D. An HbA1c of 8.2%
Answer: B. In a PES (Problem, Etiology, Signs/symptoms) statement, the etiology is the cause or contributing factor, linked by “related to” — here, the frequent consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. Option A is the problem (the diagnosis label itself). Options C and D are the signs and symptoms, the measurable evidence linked by “as evidenced by.” Identifying the etiology matters because the intervention should target that cause.
