Answer 130

A

One problem (diagnostic label): adjective that describes the human response (altered, impaired, increased, risk of)
One etiology (cause/contributing risk factors) linked to the problem by words “related to” (why the problem exists)
Assessment of signs (objective data…observable changes) and symptoms (subjective data are changes the patient expresses) linked to etiology by words “as evidenced by” (proof of the problem)

Prioritize: select the most important and urgent problem to be addressed

Answer 131

A

Can you resolve or improve the nutrition diagnosis for this person/group? If you have diagnoses from two domains…., consider intake diagnoses as more specific to the nutritional professional…more likely to facilitate a nutrition-directed intervention
Is the etiology you selected the “root cause” that can be addressed with nutrition intervention? Or can you at least lessen the signs and symptoms?
Will measuring the signs and symptoms indicate if the problem is resolved or improved? Are signs and symptoms specific enough…that you can monitor and document resolution or improvement of the nutrition diagnosis?
Does the nutrition assessment data support a particular nutrition diagnosis with a typical etiology and signs and symptoms?

Answer 132

Answer 147

A

Day 1 of a hospital stay

Answer 148

A

eroded mucosal lesion
treatment: antacids, antibiotics to eradicate Helicobacter pylori bacteria
drug therapy: cimetidine, Ranitidine-H2 blocker; prevents binding of histamine to receptor, decreases acid secretion
diet: as tolerated, well-balanced, avoid late night snacks
omit gastric irritants: cayenne and black pepper, large amount of chili powder, avoid excess caffeine and alcohol

Answer 149

A

protrusion of a portion of the stomach above the diaphragm into the chest
small, bland feedings; avoid late night snacks, caffeine, chili powder, black pepper

Answer 150

A

follows a gastrectomy
cramps, rapid pulse, weakness, perspiration, dizziness
when rapidly hydrolyzed CHO enters jejunum, water is drawn in to achieve osmotic balance. Causes rapid decrease in vascular fluid and a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance. Blood pressure drops and signs of cardiac insufficiency appear.
About 2 hrs later, CHO is digested and absorbed rapidly. Blood sugar rises, stimulating an overproduction of insulin, causing a drop in blood sugar below fasting. This is reactive or alimentary hypoglycemia.
frequent small, dry feedings, fluids before or after meals, restrict hypertonic concentrated sweets, give 50-60% complex CHO, protein at each meal, moderate fat. Lactose may be poorly tolerated due to rapid transport

Answer 151

A

Billroth I attaches remaining stomach to duodenum
Billroth II attaches it to the jejunum
When food bypasses the duodenum, the secretion of secretin and pancreozymin by the duodenum is reduced, these hormones stimulate the pancreas, so reduced pancreatic secretion. Calcium (most rapid absorption in duodenum) and iron absorption (requires acid) are adversely affected.
Anemia-B12 deficiency-lack of intrinsic factor and bacterial overgrowth in loop of intestine being bypassed interfere with B12 absorption (pernicious anemia diagnosed using the Schilling test)
folate deficiency-needs B12 for transport inside the cell; poor folate intake and low serum iron (cofactor in folate metabolism)
Following a complete gastrectomy, deficiencies of iron, folate, calcium, vitamin D, B1 and copper may develop
B12 injections may be needed

Answer 152

A

delayed gastric emptying: surgery, diabetes, viral infections, obstructions
moderate to severe hyperglycemia: detrimental effects on gastric nerves
prokinetics (erythromycin, metoclopramide) increase stomach contractility
small, frequent meals: pureed foods, avoid high fiber, avoid high fat (liquid fat may be better tolerate), avoid caffeine, mint, alcohol (acidic), carbonation
bezoar formation may be due to undigested food or medications; treatment includes enzyme of endoscopic therapy

Answer 153

A

chronic GI disease, intestinal lesions, may also affect stomach
diarrhea, malnutrition, deficiencies of B12 and folate due to decreased HCl and intrinsic factor
antibiotics, high calories, high protein, IM B12 and oral folate supplements

Answer 154

A

gluten refers to storage proteins (prolamins: gliadin in wheat, secalin in rye, hordein in barley, avenin in oats)
reaction to gliadin-affects jejunum and ileum (proximal intestine)
malabsorption (leads to loss of fat-soluble vitamins), macrocytic anemia, weight loss, diarrhea, steatorrhea, iron deficiency anemia
need (gliadin-free) gluten-restricted diet: NO wheat, rye, oats (if harvested and milled with wheat), barley, (buckwheat may be contaminated with WROB); no bran, graham, malt, bulgur, couscous, durum, orzo, thickening agents
OK: corn, potato, rice, soybean, tapioca, arrowroot, carob bean, guar gum, flax, amaranth, millet, teff, quinoa

Answer 155

A

sometimes due to an atonic colon (weakened muscles)
high fluid, high fiber diet, exercise

Answer 156

A

the presence of diverticula-small mucosal sacs that protrude through the intestinal wall due to structural weakness. Related to constipation and lifelong intra-colonic pressures
High fiber diet-increase volume and weight of residue, provides rapid transit

Answer 157

A

when diverticula become inflamed as a result of food and residue accumulation and bacterial action
Clear liquids, low residue or elemental, gradual return to high fiber

Answer 158

A

provides indigestible bulk, promotes intestinal function
1. dietary fiber-nondigestible CHOs and lignin, binds water, increases fecal bulk; found in legumes, wheat bran, fruits, vegetables, whole grains
2. oat bran and soluble fibers decrease serum cholesterol by binding bile acids converting more cholesterol into bile
3. soluble fibers (pectins, gums) delay gastric emptying, absorb water, form soft gel in small intestine; this slows passage and delays or inhibits absorption of glucose and cholesterol; fruits, vegetables, legumes, oats, barley, carrots, apples, citrus fruits, strawberries, bananas
4. AI M 38g, F 25g fiber/day recommended
5. a high fiber diet may increase the need for Ca, Mg, P, Cu, Se, Zn, Fe
6 a low fiber diet may lead to constipation

Answer 159

A

inflammation of stomach: anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
diet: clear liquids, advance as tolerated, avoid gastric irritants

Answer 160

A

Regional enteritis (Crohn’s Disease)
a. affects terminal ileum; weight loss, anorexia, diarrhea
b. B12 deficiency leads to megaloblastic anemia
c. iron deficiency anemia due to blood loss, decreased absorption
Chronic ulcerative colitis (UC)
a. ulcerative disease of the colon, begins in rectum
b. chronic bloody diarrhea, weight loss, anorexia, electrolyte (Na, K) disturbance, dehydration, anemia, fever, negative nitrogen balance
Treatment
a. maintain fluid and electrolyte balance; antidiarrheal agent (sulfasalazine)
b. acute Crohn’s flare ups- bowel rest, parenteral nutrition or minimal residue
c. acute UC, elemental diet may be needed to minimize fecal volume
d. energy needs according to current BMI, limit fat only if steatorrhea; water soluble and fat-soluble vitamins; iron, folate; assess Ca, Mg, Zn; watch lactose, frequent feedings. High fat may improve energy balance. Coconut oil derived MCT is an easy to oxidize source of energy and may improve bowel damage
e. protein at each meal, chewable MV
f. when IBD is in remission or under control, high fiber to stimulate peristalsis

Answer 161

A

chronic abdominal discomfort, altered intestinal motility, bloating
goals: adequate nutrient intake, tailor pattern to specific GI issues
avoid gas-forming foods and swallowing air during eating
use food diary to track intake, emotions, environment, symptoms
low FODMAP diet: eliminate possible sources of discomfort
work with client to alleviate stress during eating
peppermint (has menthol, smooth muscle relaxant) may relax lower esophageal sphincter, reducing reflux, cramping, pain

Answer 162

A

Normally lactase splits lactose into galactose and glucose. In its absence lactose remains intact, exerting hyperosmolar pressure. Water is drawn into the intestine to dilute the load causing distension, cramps, diarrhea. Bacteria then ferment the undigested lactose, releasing carbon dioxide gas.
detected by breath hydrogen test-hydrogen is produced by colonic bacteria on lactose, absorbed into bloodstream and exhaled in 60-90 minutes
lactose tolerance test-oral dose of lactose (up to 50 grams) after a fast. If intolerant of lactose, blood glucose will rise <25 mg/dL above fasting (flat curve). If tolerant of lactose, the rise would be above 25 mg/dL (normal curve)
diet: lactose-free, no animal milk or milk products, no whey
a. calcium and riboflavin supplements are recommended
b. yogurt and small amounts of aged cheese may be tolerated
c. OK: lactate , lactalbumin

Answer 163

A

acute: aggressive and immediate rehydration; replace fluids and electrolytes lost in stool (WHO recommends glucose electrolyte solution)
–as effective as parenteral rehydration and much cheaper, ingredients easily attainable; reintroduce oral intake within 24 hours
chronic nonspecific infantile diarrhea-no significant malabsorption
–consider ratio of fat to CHO calories, volume of ingested liquids
–some are inadvertently placed on a low fat diet or consume too many fluids or too may calories
–give 40% calories as fat, balanced with limited fluids; restrict or dilute fruit juices with high osmolar loads-apple, grape

Answer 164

A

remove the cause; replace lost fluids and electrolytes especially those high in sodium and potassium
decrease gastric motility: avoid clear liquids and other foods high in lactose, sucrose, fructose; avoid caffeine, alcohol, high fiber
thicken consistency of stool: banana flakes, apple powder, pectin sources
repopulate GI tract with normal flora
–prebiotic components (pectin, fructose, oats, whole grains) which promote growth of healthy bacteria; FOS (fructooligosaccharides) onion, garlic, banana, artichoke, asparagus, chicory
–probiotics-sources of bacteria used to reestablish bacterial gut flora; fermented dairy foods (yogurt, kefir, aged cheese); fermented foods with beneficial live cultures (kimchi, miso, tempeh, sauerkraut)
stimulate GI tract with low fiber, low fat, lactose-free if needed

Answer 165

A

consequence of malabsorption
1. normal stool fat 2-5 g; >7 g is indicative of malabsorption
2. determine cause and treat
3. high protein, high complex CHO, fat as tolerated, vitamins (especially fat-soluble), minerals, MCT (rapidly hydrolyzed in GI tract)

Answer 166

A

consequences associated with significant resections of the small intestine
malabsorption, malnutrition, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, weight loss
severity reflects length and location of resection, age of patient, health of remaining tract. Loss of ileum (especially distal 1/3), loss of ileocecal valve, loss of colon are of particular concern
most digestion takes place in first 100 cm of intestine (in duodenum, and upper jejunum), what remains are small amounts of sugar, starches, fiber, lipids
jejunal resection-ileum can adapt and take over jejunal functions
ileal resection-significant resections produce major complications
–distal: absorption of B12, intrinsic factor, bile salts
–ileum normally absorbs major portion of fluid in GI tract; patients have above average needs for water to compensate for excessive losses in stool. Drink at least 1 liter more than their ostomy output daily
–if ileum cannot recycle bile salts: lipids are not emulsified; leads to malabsorption of fat-soluble vitamins; malabsorbed fats combine with Ca, Zn, Mg, leading to “soaps”; colonic absorption of oxalate increases leading to renal oxalate stones;; increased fluid and electrolyte secretion; increased colonic motility
loss of colon: loss of water and electrolytes, loss of salvage absorption of CHO and other nutrients. Provide chewable vitamins
nutritional care
–parenteral nutrition initially to restore and maintain nutrient status
–enteral - start early to stimulate growth, increase over time; continuous dri
–may take weeks or months to transition to food
–jejunal-normal balance of CHO, PRO, fat; avoid lactose, oxalates, large amounts of concentrated sweets; vitamin, mineral supplements
–ileal-limit fat, use MCT (does not require bile salts, needs less intestinal surface area), supplement fat-soluble vitamins (ADEK), Ca, Mg, Zn. Parenteral B12 followed by monthly injections if more than 100 cm of terminal ileum is removed

Answer 167

A

stores and releases blood, filters toxic elements, metabolizes and stores nutrients, regulates fluid and electrolyte balance
–enzyme profile: list of major enzymes found in organs and tissues; enzyme levels in blood are elevated when tissue damage causes them to leak into the circulation
Liver Function Tests:
ALP (alkaline phosphatase) 30-120 U/L; increased: liver disease, bone disease; decreased: scurvy, malnutrition
LDH (lactic acid dehydrogenase); increased: hepatitis, myocardial infarction, muscle malignancies
AST, SGOT (aspartate aminotransferase); increased: hepatitis
ALT, SGPT (alanine aminotransferase); increased: liver disease
NOTE: in liver disease, enzymes levels are elevated

Answer 168

A

inflammation, necrosis, jaundice, anorexia, nausea, fatigue–jaundice occurs when bile ducts are blocked
HAV: fecal-oral transmission (type most directly connected to food)
HBV: sexually transmitted, HCV: blood to blood contact
prescription
-increase fluids to prevent dehydration
-care varies according to symptoms and nutrition status
-50-55% CHO to replenish liver glycogen and spare protein
-acute hepatitis: 1-1.2 g PRO/kg: cell regeneration, provide lipotropic agents to convert fat into lipoproteins for removal from the liver
-moderate to liberal fat intake if tolerated; <30% cals if steatorrhea
-encourage coffee (antioxidant)
-multivitamin with B complex, C, K, zinc
-if fluid retention, 2 g Na

Answer 169

A

damaged liver tissue is replaced by bands of connective tissue which divides liver into clumps and reroutes many of the veins and capillaries. Blood flow through liver is disrupted. Poor food intake leads to deficiencies.
protein deficiencies lead o ascites, fatty liver, impaired clotting
blood flow: esophageal, veins portal vein->liver->vena cava
ascites occurs when blood cannot leave the liver
–connective tissue overgrowth blocks blood flow out of liver into vena cava. Liver expands (can store a liter of extra blood). when storage capacity has been exceeded, pressure caused by increased blood volume forces fluid to sweat through the liver into the peritoneal cavity. this fluid is almost pure plasma with a high osmolar load pulling more fluid in to dilute the load, leading to sodium and water retention.
–low serum albumin may be due to dilution factor
esophageal varices occur when blood can’t enter the liver: portal hypertension
–connective tissue overgrowth causes resistance to blood entering from portal vein. The increased pressure forces blood back into collateral veins that offer less resistance. Esophageal, abdominal, collateral veins enlarge.
diet for cirrhosis
–adequate to high protein .8-1.2 g/kg; in stress at least 1.5 g/kg
–high calorie 25-35 kcal/kg estimated dry weight or BEE +20%
–moderate to low fat 25-40% of calories, MCT if needed, <30 g fat if malabsorption. Fat is preferred fuel in cirrhosis. Includes omega 3. Decrease LCTs if steatorrhea develops
–low fiber if varices are present, low sodium (<2g) if edema or ascites
–with hyponatremia, fluid restriction of 1-1.5 L/day depending on severity, and moderate sodium intake
–B complex vitamins, C, Zn, Mg; monitor need for A and D; zinc involved in conversion of ammonia to urea, increased loss in urine

Answer 170

A

liver injury due to alcohol and metabolic derangements it causes
alcohol is converted into acetaldehyde and excess hydrogen which disrupts liver metabolism
–hydrogen replaces fat as fuel (in the Kreb’s cycle), so fat accumulates leading to fatty liver, and in blood, raising TG levels
–shift in NADH/NAD ratio inhibits beta-oxidation of fatty acids and promotes TG synthesis
associated malnutrition
–alcohol replaces food in diet
–alcohol causes inflammation of GI tract and interferes with absorption of thiamin, B12, vitamin C, folic acid, supplement thiamin and folic acid
–alcohol interferes with vitamin activation
–increased need for B vitamins to metabolize alcohol
–increased need for magnesium; excreted after alcohol consumption
–malnutrition increases alcohol’s destructive effects
–folate and protein deficiencies-most responsible for malabsorption
–thiamin deficiency-Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome

Answer 171

A

liver function decreased to 25% or less
1. liver cannot convert ammonia into urea-ammonia accumulates
2. apathy, drowsiness, confusion, coma (PSE-portal systemic encephalopathy)
3. asterixis (flapping, involuntary jerking motions): sign of impending coma
4. treatment
–if not comatose: moderate to high levels of protein, increase up to 1-1.5 g PRO/kg as tolerated. Modest protein intake if protein-sensitive hepatic encephalopathy
–30-35 kcal/kg; 30-35% calories as fat with MCT if needed
–low sodium if ascites; vitamin/mineral supplementatiion
–altered neurotransmitter theory: BCAA decrease (used by muscles for energy); AAA (aromatic amino acids) increased because damaged liver is unable to clear them->adding BCAA-adds calories and protein; may not reduce symptoms; used when standard therapy does not work and when patient does not tolerate standard protein
5. standard treatment is lactulose (hyperosmotic laxative that removes nitrogen); neomycin (antibiotic that destroys bacterial flora that produce ammonia)

Answer 172

A

steatosis, more common with BMI>/=35, T2DM, metabolic syndrome
excess fat buildup in liver unrelated to alcohol consumption
treatment: can be managed with lifestyle change
–weight loss (7-10% of starting weight). NO rapid weight loss: greater flux of fatty acids to liver may worsen inflammation and accelerate disease progression
–healthful eating: Mediterranean diet, moderate alcohol, avoid sugar sweetened beverages, coffee may help (antioxidant)
–physical activity: at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity, plus two strength training sessions each week

Answer 173

A

cholecystitis-inflammation of gallbladder
–an infection causes excess water to be absorbed causing cholesterol to precipitate out leading to gallstones-cholelithiasis
treatment
–low fat diet: acute 30-45 grams; chronic 25-30% of calories
–cholecystectomy-surgical removal of gallbladder; bile now secreted from liver directly into intestine. Limit fat intake for several months to allow liver to compensate. Slowly increase fiber to help normalize bowel movements

Answer 174

A

inflammation with edema, cellular exudate and fat necrosis
may be due to blockage or reflux of the ductal system; premature activation of enzymes within pancreas leads to autodigestion
acute- hypermetabolic, hyperdynamic state increasing BMR
–put pancreas at rest, withhold all feeding, maintain hydration (IV)
–progress as tolerated to easily digested foods with low fat content
–elemental (pre-digested) enteral nutrition into jejunum may be tolerated
chronic-recurrent attacks of epigastric pain of long duration
–PERT: pancreatic enzymes orally with meals and snacks to minimize fat malabsorption from lack of pancreatic lipase. MCTs do not require pancreatic lipase. Add to mixed dishes, jams, jellies
–to promote weight gain, give maximum level of fat tolerated without an increase in steatorrhea or pain
–if malabsorbing fat soluble vitamins, give water soluble forms, parenteral B12? (deficiency of pancreatic protease which splits off vitamin from carrier)
–pancreatic bicarbonate secretion may be defective; may need antacids so PERT will work
–in severe prolonged cases, parenteral nutrition may be needed
–to avoid pain: avoid large meals with fatty foods, alcohol

Answer 175

A

disease of exocrine glands-secretion of thick mucus that obstructs glands and ducts; chronic pulmonary disease, pancreatic enzyme deficiency, high perspiration electrolyte levels, malabsorption. Affects transport of chloride across the cell membrane
treatment: use age-appropriate BMI to assess height and weight
a. PERT with meals and snacks
b. high PRO, high calorie, unrestricted fat, liberal salt
–if growing normally and steatorrhea is controlled-calories to cover RDA for age and sex; if fails to grow-BEExactivity factors plus disease coefficients; may need 110-200% of normal energy needs
–PRO 15-20% calories-malabsorption due to pancreatic deficiency
–CHO 45-55% total calories
–liberal fat to compensate high energy needs 35-40% of calories
–additional 2-4 g salt/day in hot weather, with heavy perspiration
–age-appropriate doses of water-soluble vitamins and minerals
–supplement zinc, water soluble forms of fat soluble vitamins (A and E)

Answer 176

A

classification
–systolic: contraction, diastolic: relaxation
–may be primary (essential) or secondary due to another disease

Elevated:120-129 and <80
Stage 1: 130-139 or 80-89
Stage 2: >140 or >90
–obesity is a major factor in the cause and treatment
management
–thiazide diuretics may induce hypokalemia
–four modifiable factors in primary prevention and treatment: overweight, high salt intake, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity
–salt restriction <2300 mg Na/day; decrease weight if needed
–DASH diet-Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension; whole grains, fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy, poultry, fish, moderate sodium, limit alcohol, decrease sweets, calcium to meet DRI (not supplements)
Mediterranean diet
–rich in alpha linolenic acid, high in monosaturated fats
–olive, canola, soybean oils; walnut, almonds, pecan, peanuts, pistachios

–resveratrol, in skins of red grapes, may lower blood pressure

Answer 177

A

risks: HTN, obesity, smoking, elevated blood lipids, hereditary
coronary artery disease: hard, narrow arteries from plaque buildup
ischemia: deficiency of blood due to obstruction
arteriosclerosis- loss of elasticity of blood vessel walls
myocardial infarction- reduction of coronary flow to myocardium due to blood clot blocking narrowed coronary artery
–angina pectoris- chest pain; heparin given for blood clots
dyslipidemia (includes high TG and low HDL)
metabolic syndrome: three or more of the following risk factors are linked to insulin resistance which often increase risk for coronary events: elevated BP; elevated TG; elevated BG; waist measurement M>40, F>35; low HDL

Answer 178

A

Chylomicron: synthesized in intestine from dietary fat, transports dietary TG from gut to adipose, lowest density: smallest amount of protein
VLDL (pre-beta): transports endogenous TG from liver to adipose
LDL (beta): transports cholesterol from diet and liver to all cells
–small dense LDL-C associated with increased risk, responsive to diet
–larger buoyant LDL not associated with increased risk
HDL (alpha): reverse cholesterol transport; moves cholesterol from cells to liver and excretion
IDL (pre-beta to beta): LDL precursor; catabolism of other lipoprotein

Answer 179

A

LDL-C: <100 optimal
Total cholesterol: <200 desirable
HDL-C: M <40, F <50; >/=60 high
High homocysteine (Hcy) levels are independent risk factors for CHD
Normal TG <150

Patients with LDL >/= 190 mg/dL
Patients with T2DM 40-75 years old
Patients with an estimated 10-year risk of CVD of 7.5% or higher 40-75 years old

Answer 182

A

etiology
–weakened heart fails to maintain adequate output, resulting in diminished blood flow so fluid is held in tissues (edema); dyspnea (shortness of breath)
–reduced blood flow to kidneys causes secretion of hormones that hold in Na and fluid leading to weight gain
treatment
–digitalis increases strength of heart contraction
–low sodium (2-3 grams), DASH diet, 1-2 L fluid
–1.1-1.4 g PRO/kg ABW for normally nourished and malnourished
–energy needs: RMR x physical activity factor
–evaluate thiamin status (loss with loop diuretics). Without thiamin, pyruvate cannot be converted into acetyl CoA for energy, so heart muscle is deprived
–DRI folate, Mg; MV with B12
–encourage individualized regular physical activity
cardiac cachexia: unintended weight loss, blood backs up into liver and intestines causing nausea and decreased appetite. Arginine and glutamine may help. Low saturated fat, low cholesterol, low trans fat, <2 g sodium, high calorie

Answer 183

A

glomerulus-tuft of capillaries held closely by Bowman’s capsule-produces ultrafiltrate which then passes through tubules. Capsule blocks passage of red blood cells and large molecules like protein
proximal convoluted tubule-major nutrient reabsorption
Loop of Henle-water and sodium balance
distal tubule-acid-base balance

Answer 184

A

filtration-RBCs, protein stay in blood; all else filters through tubules
absorption- 100% glucose, amino acids; 85% water, sodium, potassium
excretion-wastes, urea, excess ketones
secretion-secretes hormones that control blood pressure, blood components; secretes ions that maintain acid-base balance

Answer 185

A

vasopressin (ADH)-from hypothalamus (stored in pituitary)
–exerts pressor effect; elevates blood pressure
–increases water reabsorption from distal and collecting tubules
–SIADH-syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone; hyponatremia caused by hemodilution, treated with fluid restriction
renin-vasoconstrictor
–secreted by glomerulus when blood volume decreases
–stimulates aldosterone to increase sodium absorption and return blood pressure to normal
erythropoietin EPO
–produced by kidney; stimulates bone marrow to produce RBC

Answer 186

A

decreased glomerular filtration rate, creatinine clearance
increased serum creatinine, BUN
BUN: creatinine ratio > 20:1 indicates a “pre-renal state” in which BUN reabsorption is increased due to acute kidney damage (may be reversible and may not require dialysis)
–BUN:creatinine ratio <10:1 suggests reduced BUN reabsorption due to renal damage (may need dialysis)
renal solute load-solutes excreted in 1 L urine; daily fixed load of 600mOsm
–mainly measures nitrogen (60%) and electrolytes (sodium)

Answer 187

A

anemia due to decreased production of erythropoietin
upset in blood pressure
decreased activation of vitamin D (kidney produces active form which promotes efficient absorption of calcium by the gut)

Answer 188

A

1.5-2 L fluid/day needed to dilute urine
1. calcium oxalate stones
–adequate calcium intake (RDA from dairy or supplements with meals) to bind oxalate and a low oxalate (40-50 mg) diet (dark leafy greens, chocolate, strawberries, nuts, beets, tea)
–more stones are detected in diets deficient in calcium
2. alkaline ash/acid ash diets
–minerals not oxidized in metabolism leave an ash (residue) in urine
–to prevent acidic stones-create an alkaline ash: increase cations (Ca, Na, K, Mg) by adding vegetables, fruits, brown sugar, molasses
–to prevent alkaline stones-create an acid ash: increase anions (Cl, Ph, Su) by adding meat, fish, fowl, eggs, shellfish, cheese, corn, oats, rye

Answer 189

A

sudden shutdown with previously adequate capacity; decreased GFR, inadequate pre-renal perfusion
due to burns, accident, obstruction, severe dehydration
symptoms-oliguria (<500 mL urine), azotemia (increased urea in blood)
at first: IV glucose, lipids, protein
1-1.3 g/kg if non-catabolic without dialysis as GFR returns to normal
1.2-1.5 g/kg if catabolic and/or initiation of dialysis
225-40 kcal/kg, BEE x stress factor (1.2-1.3) during hypermetabolic conditions. Energy expenditure increases as kidney function declines
low sodium (2-3 g), replace in diuretic phase
8-15 mg/kg phosphorous. May need phosphate binders
2-3 g potassium based on output, serum potassium, dialysis
replace fluid output from previous day plus 500 mL

Answer 190

A

defect in capillary basement membrane of glomerulus which permits escape of large amounts of protein into the filtrate moving through the tubules
albuminuria, edema, malnutrition, hyperlipidemia (more synthesis and less clearance of VLDL)
.8-1.0 g/kg; 50% from HBV. Excess protein will be catabolized to urea and excreted
<30% fat, low saturated fat, 200 mg cholesterol
35 kcal/kg/day
modest sodium restriction 2-3 g/day-depends on HTN, edema
calcium 1-1.5 g/day, supplement vitamin D
may need fluid restriction with edema
abnormalities in iron, copper, zinc, calcium related to protein loss

Answer 191

A

anorexia, weakness, weight loss, nausea, vomiting

A

biguanides: Metformin (glucophage)-suppress hepatic glucose production. First line therapy for most with T2DM. Take with food. Check B12 levels. Deficiency can lead to anemia or peripheral neuropathy. Weight neutral. Low risk of hypoglycemia.
DPP-4 inhibitors: saxagliptin (Onglyza), sitagliptin (Januvia), often used with Metformin. Allows endogenous GLP-1 to stay active longer, reduces glucose released by liver overnight and between meals. Weight neutral.
SGLT-2 inhibitors: canagliflozin (Invokana), dapagliflozin (Farxiga), empagliflozin (Jardiance) target blood glucose-lowering action in kidneys, by blocking a protein that returns glucose to blood after it is filtered through the kidney. More glucose is excreted in urine, less reabsorbed. Monitor kidney function. Weight loss. Considered for patients with T2D and CKD.
glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist: Exenatide (Byetta), dulaglutide (Trulicity), semaglutide (Ozempic) slows gastric emptying, enhances insulin secretion when glucose is high after eating, suppresses postprandial glucagon secretion, promotes fullness and leads to weight loss
TZD Thiazolidinediones: (Actos)-increase insulin sensitivity in muscle. Weight gain
Sulfonylureas: glimepiride (Amaryl) secretagogue stimulates pancreas to release more insulin. May lead to hypoglycemia. Weight gain.

sodium restriction is NOT recommended for prevention or treatment; sodium needed to maintain normal levels of sodium in plasma during large prenatal expansion of tissues and fluids. Sodium intake should not be less than 2300 mg/day
proposed association between PIH and calcium deficiency

Answer 259

A

severe nausea, vomiting, acidosis, weight loss
1. bed rest, small amounts frequent CHO, correct fluid and electrolyte imbalance

Answer 260

A

diarrhea, malabsorption, nausea, vomiting, weight loss
preserve lean body mass, prevent weight loss, prevent HIV wasting
encourage physical activity 20 min/day, 3x/week
nutrient needs: BEEx1.3 for asymptomatic, based on DRI
–protein: asymptomatic 0.8 g/kg, up to 1.2-2 g/kg if wasted LBM
–standard doses of micronutrients if dietary intake is insufficient
–if diarrhea: soluble fiber, MCT oil, electrolyte replacement beverages
food and water safety-low bacteria diet (neutropenic), avoid raw foods
HIV infected women should be counseled NOT to breastfeed
NRTI drugs (nucleotide nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors including Retrovir, zidovudine) can lead to anemia, loss of appetite, nausea, dysphagia
nutritional supplementation should not be routinely recommended and herbal supplementation should be discouraged as adjunctive therapy to conventional care. Use of Vitamin C or St John’s Wort could result in drug resistance. CAM (complementary alternative medicine) therapies are not inert and may have profound consequences.

Answer 261

A

may develop from therapy
1. high cholesterol, high TG, insulin resistance, changes in body fat distribution
2. significant loss of lean body mass can be obscured by edema and HALS
3. increase in dietary fiber decreases insulin resistance, reducing risk of fat deposition

Answer 262

A

high protein, high calorie with supplements needed for weight gain
2. energy needs: general guidelines plus appropriate stress factors
3. multivitamins/minerals at doses 1-2x RDA or DRI
4. lactose restriction if intolerant

Answer 263

A

persistent obstruction of airflow
1. emphysema-air sacs (alveoli) lose elasticity; thin, cachectic, often older; difficulty exhaling; air pocket walls expand, thin out, collapse
–chronic bronchitis-excess mucus production, chronic productive cough
2. symptoms-weight loss, emaciation, anorexia
3. maintain appropriate body weight and composition
4. avoid overfeeding (more than 35 kcal/kg) to avoid excessive CO2 production. Routine use of high fat, low CHO formula is not warranted
5. small, frequent, mini meals and snacks, easy to prepare and eat, nutrient dense supplements (smoothies, meatloaf, muffins with cream cheese, tuna salad, cereal with fruit)
6. Vitamin D supplementation improved exacerbation outcomes in those with serum 25(OH) D levels 10 ng/mL or lower

Answer 264

A

lungs no longer able to exchange gases, hypermetabolism, increased energy needs; severely underweight
meet basic nutritional requirements, maintain stable weight, facilitate weaning from mechanical ventilation, without exceeding capacity to clear CO2
provide adequate but not excessive calories; avoid excess non-protein calories
provide enteral formula containing EPA and GLA (gamma-linoleic acid) and enhanced levels of antioxidant vitamins
1.5-2 g PRO/kg BW, maintain lean body mass

Answer 265

A

Prescription for antipsychotics Clozapine, Olanzapine, Risperidone, Quetiapine:
–determine history of usual weight and weight gain
–weight gain of 5% above baseline: recommend referral for weight management. Weight gain of 7%: clinically meaningful gain
BMI of 18 or below: possible inadequate intake
paranoia regarding food or resulting in severe food restriction
suspicion that functional level, social or financial factors are compromising food intake
alcohol or drug abuse or eating disorder

Answer 266

A

prime concern is the next drug dose. getting food may be secondary
may be socially marginalized and impoverished (partly related to cost of drugs)
injection drug use exerts stress on immune system, increasing need for nutritional antioxidants
bulimia and anorexia are not uncommon. cocaine, amphetamines and ecstasy may be used to reduce appetite for desired weight loss or control

Answer 267

A

address person in a holistic manner with psychosocial support, including family members. group process is known to have positive outcomes for nutrition education
moderate or discontinued sugar intake: sugar ingestion releases dopamine. sugar cravings may substitute dopamine release previously available from use of many drugs. this results in mood fluctuations and weight gain. stable glucose levels are shown to decrease drug cravings and reduce relapse potential
moderate or discontinued caffeine. caffeine reduces mood stability by inducing the fight or flight response
increased complex CHO, protein and fiber with moderate to low fat intake
regular 3 well spaced meals and 1-3 healthy snacks
30-35 kcal/kg plus 1-2 g PRO/kg, encourage fluid intake, especially water, between and with meals

Answer 268

A

standard polymeric-normal GI function, most provide 1-1.5 kcal/mL
–lecithin may be added as an emulsifier
–initiated full strength at rate of 10-40 mL/hr, advance 10-20 mL every 8-12 hours until goal rate is achieved
–modular: mix individual components, adds flexibility
–blenderized: whole food, large bore tube, thick intact protein, high residue
–least expensive formulas: intact protein (NOT predigested) and isotonic (osmolality is close to that of blood)
–FOS and fiber may be added to stimulate production of beneficial bacteria and may help resist Clostridium difficile
elemental, chemically defined-used with malabsorption
–pre-digested protein or amino acids, glucose or sucrose, LCT and MCT, vitamins, minerals, electrolytes
–absorbed in proximal intestine, low to no residue, don’t need pancreatic enzymes, high osmolality, poor taste
–used with compromised GI function, inability to digest and absorb
–Alitraq, Peptamen, Vivonex
specialized
–Nepro (renal), HepaticAid II (liver), Glucerna (diabetes)
–the more specialized the formula, the greater its cost

Answer 269

A

opening-based on viscosity of feeding
1. large #16-blenderized whole foods
2. small #8-ready prepared formulas, more comfortable

Answer 270

A

anticipate length of time needed, risk aspiration, patient’s anatomy, clinical status, normal or abnormal digestion and absorption
hang time open systems 8 hours, closed systems 24-48 hours
short term access 3-4 weeks, nasogastric tube, normal GI function
–bolus method-clinically stable with functional stomach
–intermittent drip (pump or gravity)-more mobility
–continuous drip-constant, steady rate over 16-24 hours, usually with a feeding pump (for those with compromised GI function or who do not tolerate large volume infusion) Cyclic feeding is delivered by continuous drip at an increased rate over 8-16 hours, often overnight, by pump (for undernourished, especially older, ambulatory, malnourished patients)
–nasoduodenal or naso jejunal if unable to tolerate gastric feedings
–transpyloric/post-pyloric: passed by pyloric valve in stomach; used in comatose patients or ones with no gag reflex
–gastrostomy or jejunostomy feedings if needed more than 3-4 weeks; PEG inserts tube into stomach through abdominal wall
–do not use blue dye to check tube placement. Use Xray confirmation of tube tip location, or aspirate gastric contents

Answer 271

A

lactose intolerance, formula hyperosmolality, rapid infusion causes influx of water into gut

Answer 272

A

select formula and determine calories needed
Divide calories needed by kcal/mL to determine mLs formula needed per day
determine protein content: multiply mLs of daily formula by grams protein per liter
determine daily fluid need: multiply % water in formula x daily formula in mLs to determine water contribution of enteral nutrition. Subtract formula water from total fluid requirements to determine water flushes
Determine administration rate: divide total mLs of formula/day by 24 hours to determine continuous feeding goal rate

Answer 273

A

small surface veins
1. short term therapy with minimum effect on nutritional status
–indications- post-surgery (when enteral feeding is expected to resume within 5-7 days), mild to moderate malnutrition, as supplemental to enteral
2. solutions
–IV dextrose-3.4 kcal/g; highest concentration used in PPN is 10%
–Protein 3-15% amino acid solutions
–IVFE intravenous fat emulsion (Intralipid); 10% 1.1 kcal/mL; 20% 2.0 kcal/mL
–solutions generally limited to 800-900 mOsm

Answer 274

A

infusion of a hypertonic solution delivered through a central venous catheter
used to achieve an anabolic state when patients are unable to eat by mouth and enteral feeding is not possible
ASPEN: set time frame of 7-10 days in which to achieve intake goals by the enteral route before adding PN
use of PN in critically ill patients has been shown to increase infectious complications, longer ICU stays and increased mechanical ventilation
catheters:
–PICC peripherally inserted central catheter-used for short or moderate term infusion
–CVC long term central access is through the cephalic, subclavian or internal jugular vein into the superior vena cava
concern-translocation of bacteria; not feeding through gut allows wall to breakdown, bacteria move out causing sepsis
–GALT (gut associated lymphoid tissue) is compromised by bowel rest or PN. Provides 50% of total body immunity. 70-80% of total body immunoglobin production is secreted across the GI mucosa to defend against pathogenic substances in the GI lumen

Answer 275

A

protein: ratio for anabolism is 1 g nitrogen/150 calories; 1-1.5 g PRO/kg/day
–crystalline amino acids 3-15% solution
–% = # of g Pro in 100 mL of solution
energy 35-50 kcal/kg; up to 70% dextrose solution
–to avoid overfeeding and hyperglycemia, start at <20-25 kcal/kg
–maximum rate of dextrose infusion (glucose utilization rate) should not exceed 4-5 mg/kg/min to prevent hyperglycemia and other complications. Increased BG from excess dextrose increases RQ in ventilated patient and increases infectious complications
fat: needed for energy and to prevent essential fatty acid deficiency
–to prevent EFAD give 500cc of 10% fat emulsion 1-2x/week
–symptom of EFAD: petechiae (red spots)
vitamins, electrolytes, water as needed
TNA: total nutrient admixtures (three in one systems) include dextrose, amino acids, and lipids

Answer 276

A

if alimentary tract can be used
if needed only for short time in well nourished
during periods of cardiac instability
if risks inherent in process outweigh benefits

Answer 277

A

introduce a minimal amount of full-strength enteral feeding at a low rate of 30-40 mL/hour to establish GI tolerance
begin tapering when enteral feedings are providing 33-50% of their nutrient requirements
decrease PN as you increase enteral rate by 25-30 mL/hour increments every 8-24 hours to maintain prescribed nutrient levels
when patient can tolerate about 60% of needs by enteral route, D/C PN

Answer 278

A

aggressive administration of nutrition to malnourished
1. at risk: anorexia nervosa, chronic alcoholism, prolonged fasting, unfed 7-10 days, significant weight loss, phosphorous-deficient PN
2. starved cells take up nutrients, potassium and phosphorous shift into intracellular compartments
3. results in:
–hypokalemia: cardiac, renal, CHO metabolism, muscle weakness
–hypophosphatemia: cardiac abnormalities, respiratory failure, seizures
–hypomagnesemia: intracellular metabolism, cardiac arrhythmias, hypocalcemia
4. tightly controlled blood glucose 140-180 mg/dL
5. overfeeding PN and dextrose >5 mg/kg/min may lead to hyperglycemia; glucose moves into cells for oxidation, stimulates insulin, which decreases salt and water excretion, increasing risk of cardiac and pulmonary complications. Upon initiation of PN to a malnourished person, monitor glucose, phos, potassium, and mag

Answer 279

A

Integrative medicine combines evidence-based complementary therapies with conventional (allopathic) treatments to address the social, psychological, and spiritual aspects of health and illness
NCCIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health; yoga, meditation, herbs and botanicals, traditional healing practices
Complementary and alternative medicine CAM-NIH categories; mind-body medicine, alternative medical systems like acupuncture and oriental medicine, lifestyle and disease prevention, biologically based therapies including herbs and orthomolecular medicine, manipulative and body-based systems like chiropractic medicine, biofield systems like therapeutic touch, bioelectric magnetics
functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just symptoms, and looks at the underlying cause of disease, engaging patient and practitioner in a partnership for therapy
Holistic health views mental, physical and spiritual aspects of life closely connected and equally important with regard to treatment approaches

A

what are all the possible ways to solve the problem, what resources would be needed to do each alternative, which alternatives are the most feasible, who needs to be involved in choosing which way is best

Answer 294

A

consider the following in preparation: expenditures of preceding period, present budget, changes in present budget period, expenditures of present period, budget requests for next period
phases of budget cycle: prepare requests, evaluate revenue potential, formulate document, send to legislative body, legislative review and authorization, execute the budget (run the program), evaluation and review
performance budget- summarizes program activities performed in terms of the cost of specified accomplishments. Ex: what it costs to supervise a food bank, or what it costs to screen children for anemia
funding: public health departments derive a portion of their income from general revenue (taxes), and federal, local or foundation grants
–Grant: an award of financial or direct assistance: usually lasts over a few years
–Block grants from federal government are given to states or local communities for broad purposes as authorized by legislation. Recipients have great flexibility in distributing funds. Five federal block grant areas: maternal and child health, community services, social services, preventative health services, primary care

direct nutrition outcomes
clinical and health status outcomes
patient-centered outcomes
health care use and cost outcomes

Answer 299

A

provide information about the type of progress made, when the nutrition problem is resolved, and what aspects of nutrition intervention are not working

Answer 300

A

represent results that the practitioner and nutrition care impacted independently
can be linked to nutrition intervention goals
are measurable with tools and resources available
occur in a reasonable time period and can be attributed to the nutrition care
are logical and biologically or psychologically plausible stepping stones to other health care outcomes
distinct from health care outcomes because they represent the nutrition professional’s specific contribution to care (outcomes we measure)
Food/nutrition related history (intake), Lab data and medical tests, anthropometrics, Nutrition-focused physical findings

Answer 301

A

health and disease outcomes-reduced readmissions, changes in severity, duration or course of a condition or disease, changes in risk level, maintenance of health
cost outcomes-changes in length of stay, ICU days, number of outpatient visits, treatment procedures, medications, reduced readmissions
patient-centered outcomes-changes in indicators that reflect functional level, disability, quality of life
(Positive changes in nutrition outcomes in turn improve other health outcomes)

Answer 302

A

Documentation includes a statement of where the patient is now in terms of expected outcomes, date and time
–indicators measured, results, and method for obtaining the measurement
–criteria to which the indicator is compared
–factors facilitating or hampering progress, other positive or negative outcomes
–further plans for nutrition care, monitoring and follow-up or discharge
If care is to be continued, the nutrition care process cycles back as necessary to assess, diagnose and/or intervene as needed
