Q

What are we looking for in the history of medication and supplements?

A

Meds

  • Drug nutrient interactions
  • Some meds can increase or decrease appetite

Vitamin and mineral supplementation

  • depends on breast-fed/bottle

Q

What is the main tool for assessing growth in infants/kids?

A

Growth charts because we can see the growth patten from birth

  • asses past and present growth
  • predict future
  • Trends very important than single point in time

Germ found naturally in dry conditions

Can cause severe blood infections or meningitis

61
Q

Who is most likely to get infected by Chronobacter?

A

Infants <2months, premed and those with weakened immune systems
-outbreak rom powdered formula because you cane sterilize the powder

62
Q

What foods do Health Canada and other recommend to be introduced at 6months?

A

Fe rich

-because Fe stores only last for 6 months in infants

63
Q

How do you prevent Fe deficiency in infants?

A

By breastmilk or Fe fortified formula, cereals, meat or legumes
-add Vit C with all those options

64
Q

what are we looking for when doing a dietary assessmentt?

A 
Type, quantity and frequency of feeding
Brestfed vs formula
Energy intake
Protein intake
Intake of Fe, Ca, Fit D
Solid food intake
Patter of meals/snacks
Eating behaviour
Allergies
65
Q

In terms of food allergies what does the Canadian Paediatric Society Recommend if your infant is high risk??

A

Introduce allergen foods at 4 month but 6 still recommend

-no evidence to support antigen avoidance during gestation and lactation

66
Q

In terms of food allergies what does the Canadian Paediatric Society Recommend for infant formula?

A

High risk infants are not breastfed

There is no advantage of soy based formula

67
Q

In terms of food allergies what does the Canadian Paediatric Society Recommend for solid food intro?

A

No evidence that delayed into of solids beyond 4-6 months it protective

No advantage of delaying highly allergenic foods
-may actually increase risk

68
Q

A 
Indicator amino acid oxidation method for Children 6-10yrs
EAR
DRI0.76g/kg/day
IAAO 1.3g/kg/day
IAAO %kcal ~9

DRI 0.95g/kg/day
IAAO 1.55g/kg/day
IAAO %kcal ~10

current recommendations are ~70% underestimated

69
Q

To avoid Fe deficiency, what is recommended that infants take after 4 months?

A

Oral Fe supplement until complimentary Fe containing foods are introduced

70
Q

What does Fe deficiency cause?

A

Leading cause of Anemia

71
Q

Why is monitoring Fe important?

A

Because as infants grow rapidly, there is a Demond for more blood and more Fe to make blood and transport O2

72
Q

What is the cause of Fe deficiency anemia in infants?

A

Non fortified infant formula

Cows milk under 1yo (can’t digest casein in cow milk)

73
Q

What does a lack of Fe result in?

A

Energy crisis because Fe carries O2 in blood and energy is released from nutrients

A lack of Fe also affects behaviour, mood, attention span and learning ability

74
Q

How do you detect Fe deficiency anemia in infants?

A

CPA and AAP recommend:
Measure Hgb status (<110g/L)

Fe Status
-serum ferritin

75
Q

To prevent Fe deficiency in a young child what should be done?

A

Food must driver 7-10mg/day

Only 2 cups of cow milk/day in toddlers because the Ca is essential

76
Q

what is FFT?

A

Failure to Thrive

  • One of the most common paediatric problems, identified in the first 3 months
  • makes up 1-5% of all admissions for children <2
77
Q

What are the different definitions of FFT as you age?

A

0-3yrs FTT
3yrs-puberty Growth failure
Puberty- delay in sexual maturation

78
Q

how do characterize FFT?

A

No set definition

  • Wt less than 3rd% of Wt for age
  • Wt less than 80% of expected wt for age
  • A deceleration of growth velocity across 2 major % lines
79
Q

What is FTT more of?

A

A Symptom rather than a diagnosis

80
Q

What is the difference between non organic and organic FFT?

A

Non organic: occurs in the absence of an identifiable disease

  • psych issues
  • lack of knowledge or misinformation

Organic: Associated with an identifiable disease

  • inadequate intake dure to swallowing or chewing impairment
  • increased energy requirements (infection)
81
Q

What are the exceptions to the rules in terms of growth?

A

Some children do not follow standard growth curves and can still be healthy

  • Familial short stature
  • constitutional growth delay
  • Intrauterine growth
  • preterm infants
82
Q

What are the general recommendation for 0-6months?

A

Exlusive breastfeeding

Vitamin D supplement 400IU

83
Q

What are the general recommendation for 6-12 months?

A

Solid Fe rich foods paired with Vit C
No need to avoid allergen foods
Continue formula/breastfeeding to at least 1-2 years beyond
No cow milk before 12 months

84
Q

What does a nutritional assessment of adolescents look like?

A

Determine stage of biological and sexual development

  • Patient history info
  • anthropometric and body comp (ht and wt) (BMI for age and sex)
  • Biochemical data only used if something abnormal is going on
  • clinical exam
  • dietary assessment
85
Q

What are the biological changes of puberty?

A

Sexual maturation
Increases in Ht and wt
Accumulation of skeletal mass
Changes in body comp

86
Q

Are the sequence of sexual maturation events different?

A

They are consisted but there is considerable variation in the age of maturation
-sexual maturation or biological age should be used to assess growth and development and nutritional needs

87
Q

What is the Tanner stages?

A

Sexual maturation rating - a scale of secondary sexual characteristics used to assess the degree of pubertal maturation

88
Q

What are the 3 different SMR stages?

A

SMR1: prepubertal growth and development
SMR2-4: Occurrences of puberty
SMR5: Sexual maturation has concluded

89
Q

When do adolescent shave their growth spurt?

A

2-3yars of intense growth, followed by few more years of slower growth (4.5years total)
-growth spurts start earlier in girls (7.5 or 12 years) boys (13years)

90
Q

How does weight change in adolescent growth spurt?

A

Increases first then followed by 4-6 months of rapid increase in height
-for boys limbs grow first W

91
Q

What doe hormones affect in adolescents?

A

Intensity and duration of growth
Organ maturation
Mood and sexual feelings

92
Q

A

Growth retardation

  • acute malnutrition= wasting
  • Wt for stature<3rd% for age and sex
  • BMI for age<5th% for sex
  • Chronic malnutrition= stunting
  • stature for age <3rd% for sex
  • Delayed sexual maturation
  • Anorexia–> amenorrhea (prevents period from occurring)
  • Catch up growth may be possible
95
Q

What are the energy needs of adolescent determined by?

A

Energy needs determined by degree of sequel and biological maturation not chronological age
-needs vary greatly

96
Q

What are the energy needs of adolescent girls and boys?

A

Girls energy needs peak sooner (2370cal/day for active 14-18yo)

  • start growth spurt earlier
  • attain lower heigh and weight

Boys have high energy needs 33150cal/day for active 14-18yrs
-they have more scale and therefore a higher metabolic need

97
Q

In general what are some unusual/irregular eating habits of teens?

A 
Skip meals
Enjoy snacks
More involved inprearing meals
Eat at some or restaurants
Boys usually eat meat and grains, not enough F&amp;V and milk
98
Q

What is the problem with snacks?

A

Provide 1/4 teenagers daily energy intake
High fat low Fe,Ca,VitD/A/C folate
Vending machendes offer nutrient dense options
Promote a variety of snacks to meet nutrient needs especially Ca and Fe
Combine foods from different food groups to create health snacks

99
Q

What are the common nutrition issues in adolescents?

A

Females more F&V less carb, protein Fe
Males more meat and grains, less F&V and dairy
Fluids are being replaced by energy drinks and coffee and sugar sweetened beverages
Body issues
Starting to gain control over diets

100
Q

In adolescents wheat do nutrition needs carry according to?

A

Sex
