Q

hyperbilirubinemia

A

unconjugated bilirubin levels elevated in the first week of life as a result of increased breakdown of RBC or decreased intestinal motility
encourage 9-12 feedings per day of human milk or formula to promote hydration and intestinal motility

Q

for a cow’s milk allergy, use __

Study These Flashcards
A

hydrolyzed caesin formula
don’t immediately go to soy as this can increase the risk for osteopenia

24
Q

birth weights
normal wt
low birth wt
very low birth wt
extremely low birth wt

Study These Flashcards
A

normal: 2500-4000g
low birth: <2500g
very low birth: <1500g
extremely low birth: <1000g

25
percentile of SGA, AGA, LGA
SAG: <10th percentile AGA: 10-90th percentile LGA: >90th percentile
26
weight gain from birth to two years
initially will lose 6% of BW - should gain it back within 6-10 days 6 months: birth weight x2 1 year: birth weight x3, length x2 2 year: birth weight x4, length 1.75x
27
corrected age for preemies
chronological age in weeks - # of weeks born early = corrected age
28
infant calorie needs
0-6 months: 108 kcal/kg 7-12 months: 98 kcal/kg 1-3 years: 102 kcal/kg
29
infant protein needs
0-6 months: 9.1 g/day 7-12 months: 11 g/day 1-3 years: 13 g/day
30
vitamins and minerals for infants (iron)
supplement iron after 4-6 months RDA 0-6 months: 0.27 mg/day RDA 7-12 months: 11 mg/day
31
vitamins and minerals for infants (vitamin D)
breastmilk is low in vit D supplement 400 IUs per day through dropper
32
vitamins and minerals for infants (fluoride)
0.25 mg/day if water is not sufficient
33
fat needs for infants
>30 grams of fat - essential for energy, brain growth, fat-soluble vitamins, organ structure, and hormone production
34
vegan infants...
supplement B12
35
what does weight for age show us
does not differentiate between stunting and wasting or over/underweight normal: 5-95% *if baby is above or below percentiles, further evaluation is needed*
36
what does weight for ht show us
helps to determine under/overnutrition can determine **short-term nutritional status** 0-2 years: length 2-5 years: height <5th%: undernutrition/wasting >95th%: overnutrition
37
what does height for age show us
to determine if status is short or tall can identify **long-term nutritional status** <5th%: stunting/short stature
38
what does BMI for age show us
used for 2-20 to identify BMI <5th%: undernutrition 5-84th%: normal 85-94th%: overweight >95th%: obese
39
what growth chart do you use?
0-2 use WHO 2-20 use CDC
40
use head circumference until
age of 3 - this is when the brain stops growing
41
3 milestones to determine infant can begin feeding
baby can sit with little to no support baby brings things to food and mouth baby's extrusion reflex is diminishing **typically around 6 months**
42
do's of infant feeding
start with iron-fortified cereals and then introduced pureed f+v between 6-8 months foods that can be picked up with a palmar grip between 9-19 months foods that can be picked up with a pincer grasp focus on variety - color, texture, kinds
43
don't's of infant feeding
avoid choking hazards - nuts, popcorn, whole grapes do not feed honey do not feed cow's milk or unpasteurized dairy products - can feed pasteurized dairy products that aren't milk fruit juices and sugary drinks should not be given
44
signs and symptoms of lead poisoning
constipation anemia lethargy vomiting
45
child/adolescent nutrition
- no cow's milk until >1 year - should only be full fat - after 2 years - can do reduced fat milk if desired - iron are equal for males and females until menstruation age - calcium is important for development of bone density (1300 mg for 9-19) - limit fruit juice to 4 oz until 6 - >60 min of exercise per day
46
teenager nutrition
- many deficiencies can occur - nutrition is very important - final growth spurt - prioritize iron, calcium, vitamin D, folate, and protein - protein needs (14-18): males - 52, females - 46 - >60 min of exercise per day
47
adult nutrition calories
45-65% CHO 10-35% PRO 20-35% fat **25-30 kcal/kg**
48
adult nutrition protein
~0.8 g/kg per day males: 56 g females: 46 g
49
adult nutrition fiber
< 50 - males: 38 - females: 35 >50 - males: 30 - females: 21
50
adult nutrition fluid
1 ml/kcal or 30-35 ml/kg males: 3.7L/day females: 2.7 L/day
51
adult exercise guidelines
150 mins of moderate or 75 mins of vigorous aerobic exercise 2 moderate to vigorous strengths per week
52
adult nutrition sodium
1.5g/day
53
older adult nutrition calories and protein
decreased calories needs (decreased BMR) increased protein needs ~1.0 g/kg
54
older adult nutrition fluid
25-30 ml/kg helps constipation that may occur due to decreased gastric motility and decreased HCl secretions
55
older adult nutrition vitamins and minerals
- B12 increases 2/2 decreased production of HCl and intrinsic factor - calcium and vit D increase 2/2 sarcopenia and risk of osteoporosis - B6 and folate 2/2 atrophic gastritis - C, E, beta-carotene delay cataract development - more vulnerable to vitamin A toxicity
