Micronutrients Final Study Guide (ASSURED A)
Final Exam:
Your final exam will be 120 multiple choice questions drawn from:
• Chapter 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 & 14 in Gropper (91 questions)*
• Module 13 online reading content (see notes for required sections thereof in Module 13) (19
questions)
• Module 14 Nutritional Supplement Quality Presentation (5 questions)
• Module 15- Gropper Perspective section- Nutrient-Drug Interactions- Ch. 13 pp. 544-546 (5
questions)
You will have 4hours to complete the exam and there is only one attempt permitted.
* These questions are distributed approximately equally across the chapters and will focus on clinically
relevant information and not on specific/highly detailed information about mechanisms of action or
specific RDAs or doses required. There will be questions on how nutrients interact with each other and on
their functions, as well as deficiency and toxicity signs and symptoms/diseases. A good way to review is
to go back over prior quizzes from these chapters in Gropper.
