Module 7 Assessment

1. Patient self-empowerment and health literacy:

1. Is dangerous as the patient will make poor decisions

2. Reduces the need for medication

3. Leads to better health status

4. Is impossible to achieve

2. Mindful eating

1. Takes the person’s awareness away from their body:

2. Helps to optimise digestive processes by triggering the cephalic phase of digestion

3. Is likely to have no impact on anxiety levels

4. Is best recommended people with PTSD

3. Fasting is thought to be beneficial during chemotherapy because it:

1. Increases tumour cells’ sensitivity to apoptotic stimuli

2. Prevents apoptosis-mediated damage in normal cells

3. Repairs DNA damage in normal, but not tumour, cells

4. All of the above

4. Fasting during radiotherapy:

1. Has never been studied

2. Has been shown to be unhelpful

3. Has had positive outcomes in mouse studies

4. Is beneficial only with the ketogenic diet

5. Breast cancer survivors had a 36% reduction in recurrence and a 21% reduced risk of breast cancer related mortality when they:

1. Followed the ketogenic diet

2. Followed the fast mimicking diet

3. Fasted for at least 16 hours a night

4. Fasted for at least 13 hours a night

6. The ketogenic diet is potentially beneficial because:

1. It cuts all carbohydrates from the diet

2. Fat is an antioxidant and so reduces ROS

3. Ketones trigger apoptosis and inhibit tumour growth

4. It prevents people eating out and so increases diet compliance

7. In the DIRECT study, the Fast Mimicking Diet:

1. Increased the need for dexamethasone

2. Was used without dexamethasone, but with no difference in patient toxicity levels

3. Had no impact on response to chemotherapy

4. Had high levels of compliance

8. The following should always be included in a diet plan for someone with cancer:

1. As many different plant-based foods as they can eat

2. Raw fruit and vegetable juices

3. A total ban on meat

4. High sugar foods for weight gain

9. Which of these is the healthiest approach to help someone regain/maintain weight:

1. Increase calories with more cakes, biscuits and sweets

2. Increase calories with more fried foods

3. Optimise calorie and nutrient absorption with a high dairy diet

4. Optimise calorie and nutrient absorption with an anti-inflammatory diet

10. Which of these plant nutrients may help “chemo brain” through reducing neuroinflammation:

1. Luteolin

2. Lutein

3. Lysine

4. Lycopene
