27
Q

in critically ill tube fed pt the best methods for reducing aspiration risk is:

A

HOB elevation, continuous subglottic suctioning, oral decontamination

28
Q

why predigested formula not best first line option for diarrhea?

A

formula often not cause of diarrhea

29
Q

how can diarrhea and constipation coexist?

A

fecal impaction cuz liquid stool can get past impaction

30
Q

CPN refers to catheter tip placement in ____ whereas PPN is catheter tip placement in ____

A

large, high blood flow vein (eg. superior vena cava); small vein (eg. hand/forearm)

31
Q

ppl who are not good candidates for PPN?

A

volume-sensitive, cardiopulmonary, renal, hepatic failure

32
Q

osmolarity is used to calculate ____ while osmolality is used for body fluids

A

IV fluids

33
Q

PPn most often provided thru catheters called _____ catheters

A

midline; midclavicular

34
Q

this type of catheter needs a large vein

A

extended dwell catheters

35
Q

is single lumen or multi lumen catheter best for CPN?

A

single lumen

36
Q

this catheter inserted into vein in antecubital area of arm, threaded into subclavian vein (catheter tip placed in superior vena cava)

A

peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)

37
Q

commonly used long term catheter for CPN?

A

tunneled catheter

38
Q

a.a. conditionally essential in infants:

A

taurine

39
Q

CHO in PN supplied as ___ which yields ____kcal/g

A

dextrose monohydrate; 3.4

40
Q

max rate of CHO administration:

A

5-6 mg/kg/min (critically ill)

41
Q

^ CHO admin can lead to:

A

hyperglycemia, hepatic probs, ^ ventilatory drive

42
Q

lipid admin should not exceed ____g/kg/d

A

1-1.5

43
Q

10% lipid emulsion contains ___kcal/mL, 20% has ___kcal/mL

A

1.1; 2

44
Q

all lipid emulsions should be administered thru ___ micron filter set

A

1.2

45
Q

monitoring of ____ and ___ status recommended for pt receiving PN >6 months

A

manganese; chromium

46
Q

why iron not normally part of PN infusion?

A

not compatible with lipids, may enhance certain bacterial growth

47
Q

PN solution can be ____ or use ___ bags

A

compounded; multichamber bags

48
Q

most common drug additives to PN:

A

insulin; histamine-2 agonists

49
Q

why not abruptly stop CPN with high dextrose concentration?

A

potential for rebound hypoglycemia

50
Q

primary complication of PN?

A

infection

51
Q

signs of infection:

A

tachycardia, sudden hyperglycemia, elevated WBC, chills, fever

52
Q

maintenance of adequate BP is called:

A

hemodynamic stability

53
Q

types of PN complications:

A

mechanical, infection/sepsis, metabolic, GI

54
Q

why refeeding syndrome happen?

A

new tissue requires ^ amt glucose/K/P/Mg for growth but if intracell electrolytes not supplied sufficiently to keep up with growth, low serum K/P/Mg develop; also CHO metabolism cause shift of electrolytes to intracellular space as glucose moves into cell for oxidation

55
Q

rapid infusion of CHO stim ___ release, which reduces ____ excretion and increases chance of cardio/pulmonary complications (fluid overload)

Q

common nutr diagnoses for refeeding syndrome:

A

excessive CHO intake or excess infusion from EN or PN

57
Q

initial oral diets in transitional feeds should be low in ____
