Intake + Output Review Flashcards
Requires the PT to name all food eaten within a day =
A 24-Hour Recall
Asks the PT to identify the number of times per week, month, or day a particular food group is eaten =
Food Frequency Questionnaire
A Food Frequency Questionnaire provides-
A more global image of the client’s nutritional intake than the 24-Hour Recall
What’s an issue for both the 24-Hour Recall and the Food Frequency Questionnaire?
Accuracy
What’s the most accurate food diary?
A Food Record
What provides Info on the quantity as well as the types of food eaten?
A Food Record
Which type of food diary requires a high level of cognitive & psychomotor functioning?
A Food Record
Which food diary asks the PT in advance to keep a measured & weighed amount of all foods eaten in a 3 day period?
Food Records
Body Composition=
The proportion of fat in your body
What body composition measurement is used to assess growth in children, indirectly assess adults’ protein and fat stores, to diagnose obesity, overweight, and underweight?
Anthropometric Measurements
Noninvasive examination techniques to determine body dimensions such as height and weight. Standardized equipment must be used =
Anthropometric Measurements
Use of a caliper to obtain the most accurate measurement =
Skinfold Measurements
What are the most reliable locations for the use of skinfold measurements for men + women?
Men = The Subscapular Area
Women = The Triceps Skinfold
The BMI doesn’t account for-
The difference between muscle and fat accumulation
A high level of abdominal fat is associated with increased risk for-
Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease
Normally, what circumference is routinely measured as a part of screening?
If obese, what kind of circumference is used instead?
Normally = Mid-Upper Arm Circumference
Obese = Abdominal Circumference
Weight in Kgs/Height in meters =
BMI
Normal BMI for adults?
18.5 - 24.9
Underweight BMI for adults?
< 18.5
Severely Underweight BMI for adults?
< 16
Pre-Obese BMI for adults?
25 - 29.9
Class 3 Obesity BMI for adults?
40 or higher
What are 4 imaging techniques?
DEXA Scans
CT Scans
MRI Scans
Underwater Weighing
What imaging technique assesses bone mineral content and density-quick, noninvasive =
DEXA (Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry)
What imaging technique measures volume rather than actual body composition. Provides info about quantity of adipose tissue, especially in body cavities?
CT Scan
Adipose Tissue =
Body Fat Tissue
What imaging technique is noninvasive, directly assesses body composition. Cost + availability make it impracticable for everyday use?
MRI Scan
What imaging technique is the gold standard for body composition measures?
The Underwater Weighing Technique
Constitutes 60% of the body’s protein, synthesized in the liver =
Albumin
Low albumin levels are associated with-
Malnutrition, malabsorption, acute/ chronic liver disease, and repeated loss of protein (via burns, wounds, etc.)
Albumin or Pre-albumin, which one more accurately depicts nutritional status?
Pre-Albumin is more accurate
Why is a PT’s pre-albumin level more accurate at depicting nutritional status than their albumin level?
Your albumin level is affected by fluid status, pre-albumin level isn’t
Transferrin is a protein that-
Binds with iron
Blood glucose, serum protein level & indices, total lymphocyte count, and hemoglobin are all examples of-
Lab values indicating nutritional status
Transferrin can be measured -
Directly or Indirectly
TIBC =
Total Iron Bonding Capability
When you have anemia, TIBC is-
Decreased
If you have an iron-deficiency, your TIBC will be-
Increased
