Chapter 26: MNT in Pulmonary Diseases Flashcards
this disease and some other medical problems may disturb the normal process of gas exchange between the air and blood, leading to respiratory stress
pumonary diseases
a condition characterized by inadequate oxygen and excessive c02 in the blood and tissues
respiratory stress
may have adverse effect on lung structure, elasticity, and function; respiratory muscle mass, strength, and endurance; lung immune defense mechanisms; and control of breathing
malnutrition
effect of pulmonary disease on nutritional status
-increased energy expenditure
-reduced intake
-difficulty preparing food due to fatigue
-lack of financial resources
-impaired feeding skills (for infants and children)
-altered metabolism
-
respiratory stress may lead to weight loss and malnutrition due to the following:
-restricted food intake due to disturbed breathing pattern, which is a result of excessive co2 production
-increases energy needs due to labored breathing;
-muscle wasting caused by reduced PA
-
asthma
a chronic disorder that affects the airways
asthma
asthma - treatment
-address dietary triggers
-correct energy and nutrient deficiencies and excesses in the diet
-educate the patient on a personalized diet that provides optimal levels of nutrients
-monitor growth in children (higher BMI = high risk developing asthma)
-watch for food-drug interaction
-
a progressive lung disease characterized by the persistent obstruction of airflow thru the lungs
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd)
the term copd encompasses both _____ (2)
chronic bronchitis and emphysema
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd)
characterized by persistent inflammation and excessive secretions of mucus in the main airways of the lungs
chronic bronchitis
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd)
characterized by the breakdown of the lungs’ elastic structure and destruction of the walls of the bronchioles and alveoli
emphysema
chronic bronchitis and emphysema coexist and are usually irreversible
-
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd)
is classified according to the (GOLD)
global initiative for chronic obstructive pulmonary lung disease
characterized by bronchial hyper-reactivity, reversible airflow obstruction, and airway remodeling
asthma
symptoms: periodic episodes of chest tightness, breathlessness, and wheezing
