Question

1. which of the following tools does the american society for parenteral and enteral nutrition (aspen) consider to be a diagnostic criteria for malnutrition?

the oxford scale
dynamometry
bioimpedance analysis
computed tomography

Explanation:

The Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), which is related to the concept of an "Oxford - like" scale in a broader sense of nutritional assessment, is a well - recognized tool for diagnosing malnutrition by ASPEN. Dynamometry measures muscle strength and is not a primary diagnostic tool for malnutrition. Bioimpedance analysis is used to estimate body composition but is not the main diagnostic criteria for malnutrition. Computed tomography is an imaging modality mainly used for anatomical and pathological detection in non - nutritional contexts.

Answer:

The Oxford Scale (assuming it refers to a relevant nutritional assessment scale similar to SGA)
