A nurse is teaching a nutrition class about the different daily values. When teaching about the referenced daily intakes (RDIs), which information should the nurse include?
a. Have values for protein, vitamins, and minerals
b. Are based on percentages of fat, cholesterol, and fiber
c. Have replaced recommended daily allowances (RDAs)
d. Are used to develop diets for chronic illnesses requiring 1800 cal/day
ANS: A
The RDIs are the first set, comprising protein, vitamins, and minerals based on the RDA. The daily reference values (DRVs) make up the second set and consist of nutrients such as total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, fiber, sodium, and potassium. Combined, both sets make up the daily values used on food labels. Daily values did not replace RDAs but provided a separate, more understandable format for the public. Daily values are based on percentages of a diet consisting of 2000 kcal/day for adults and children 4 years or older.
