Nursing Elites

1. What is a disadvantage of using a food frequency questionnaire?

• A. It does not influence the food choices of the consumer
• B. It is not affected by seasonal changes in the diet
• C. It is not effective for monitoring short-term changes in food intake
• D. It does not take too long to obtain the results

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Option C is correct because a food frequency questionnaire is designed to capture a person's typical food intake over an extended period and is not suitable for monitoring short-term changes in diet. The questionnaire's purpose is to provide insights into long-term dietary patterns rather than immediate changes. Option A is incorrect as the questionnaire does not influence food choices; it merely records them. Option B is also incorrect because, while seasonal changes can impact food availability and thereby influence diet, the questionnaire itself is not affected by these changes. Lastly, option D is incorrect as the time to obtain results from a food frequency questionnaire would depend on the respondent's speed and accuracy rather than being intrinsically linked to the questionnaire.
