II A: Assessment & screening Flashcards
steps of the NCP?***
assess, diagnose, intervene, monitor, evaluate (ADIME)
what is the nutrition care process?
STANDARDIZED, CONSISTENT structure and framework to provide nutrition care (solely standardized care = not individualized)
what is nutrition screening?**
use of PRELIMINARY NUTRITION ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUES to identify people who are malnourished or at risk
who can participate in nutrition screening? how long does it take?***
- all health care team members
- brief 5-10 minutes
specificity vs sensitivity
specific - can you find the patients without a condition?
sensitive - can you ID those who have a condition?
if no emerging nutrition problem exists after nutrition screening, what should be done?
document that discharge from nutrition care is appropriate
the Joint Commission & screening***
identify risk within 24 HOURS OF ADM, but DO NOT MANDATE A METHOD of screening
types of screening tools***
SGA, MNA, NSI, GNRI
SGA - what is it? what does it stand for?***
SCREENING tool - Subjective Global Assessment
hx, intake, wt change, functional capacity, physical appearance, edema, ETC., but NO LABS!!
MNA - what is it? what does it stand for?***
SCREENING tool - Mini Nutritional Assessment
ELDERLY
NSI - what is it? what does it stand for?***
SCREENING tool - Nutrition Screening Initiative
ELDERLY
GNRI - what is it? what does it stand for?***
SCREENING tool - Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index
ELDERLY (serum albumin & weight changes)
_____ provides the basis for the nutrition diagnosis
assessment
assessment is initiated by?
referral/screening for nutritional risk factors
types of assessment data
food/nutrition related hx, anthropometrics, labs/medical tests, nutrition-focused physical findings, client hx
the 3 components of assessment are?
RCI review, cluster, identify - look at the pt data, cluster everything together (food hx, anthropometrics, labs, etc.), and then identify them against a standard
components of nutrition assessment**
- food/nutrition-related history
- anthropometrics
- biomedical
- nutrition-focused physical findings
- client history
what are nutrition indicators?
clearly defined markers that can be observed and measured
ways to assess dietary intake?
diet hx, food record, 24 hr recall, FFQ
diet history
PRESENT pattern of eating, no leading Qs
food record
exact record of everything eaten in a specific period of time
24 hour recall
mental recall of everything eaten in past 24 hours; quick tool used in clinical setting
food frequency lists***
how often an item is consumed; large group of people (quick method)
FFQ can be done in what kind of setting? how?**
COMMUNITY- done by THEMSELVES
desirable body weight for women***
HAMWI - 100 lbs + 5 (for each inch past 5’) [subtract 5 for each inch under 5’]
desirable body weight for men***
HAMWI - 106 lbs + 6 (for each inch past 5’) [subtract 6 for each inch under 5’]
desirable/ideal body weight for a small frame? large frame?***
subtract (small) or add (large) 10%
amputations & desirable body weight***
(100- % amputation)/100 x IBW
amputation for entire leg***
16%
amputation for lower leg with foot (BKA)***
6%
amputation for entire arm***
5%
amputation for forearm with hand***
2.3%
% weight change formula***
(usual weight - actual weight) / usual weight x 100
what is the % weight change formula used to assess?***
potential NUTRITION RISK!
what does the triceps skinfold thickness (TSF) measure?
body fat and calorie reserves
arm muscle area (AMA) is important to measure in whom?***
growing children
arm muscle area measures what?
skeletal muscle mass (somatic protein)
how is AMA (arm muscle area) determined?
TSF & AC (arm circumference)
