Module 2 Flashcards
Steps in NCP
Assess, Diagnose, Intervene, Monitor & Evaluate
Joint Commission
nutrition risk identified in hospitalized patients w/in 24 hrs
Food Frequency Lists
quick way to determine intakes on large numbers of people
Measure of Somatic Protein
skeletal muscle mass - mid arm muscle area; good for measuring kids
Waist/Hip Ratio
difference b/n android & gynoid obesity; >1.0 men, >0.8 women
Hair assessment
thin, sparse, dull - protein deficiency
Skin
pale, dry, scaly - poor intake iron, folic acid, zinc deficiency
Serum albumin
3.5-5.0 - visceral protein (blood & organs); > 5 - dehydration
PAB - pre albumin
16-40; short half-life
Serum Creatinine
0.6-1.4; somatic protein, renal disease
BUN
10-20; protein intake, renal disease
CRP - c-reative protein
marker of acute inflammatory stress
Megastrol Acetate
appetite stimulant
Loop diuretics
deplete K+, mg, ca, Na, Chl; decrease K+, Mg
Lithium Carbonate
Maintain consistant Na & caffeine intake; If Na & caffeine restricted, lithium excretion decreases - toxicity
Propofol
in oil, consider fat Kcals
Isoniazid (treats TB)
depletes pyridoxine, peripheral neuro, interferes w/ vit D.
Vit B6 & Protein
decreases effectiveness of levodopa (parkinsons); take in AM w/ <10 gm pro.
Incidence
of new cases of a disease over a period of time
Prevalence
total # of existing people w/ a disease during a period of time
Food security
access to sufficient food for active & healthy life
Nutrition Survey
exam of pop group at a particular point in time
Nutrition Surveillance
continuous collection of data; use ht, wt, Hct, Hgb, serum cholesterol
NSI - Nutrition Screening Initiative
promote nutrition & improve care for elderly; DETERMINE, LEVEL I, LEVEL II
USDA Nationwide Food Consumption Survey (NFCS)
eval 7 nutrients, obtain info on food intake from entire US
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS)
>18 yrs, w/ telephone
WIC
provides food, nutrition education; health exam required; not an entitlement pgm
Extension Food & Nutrition Education Pgm (EFNEP)
all education - no food. provides grants to universities that assist in community dev
Elderly Nutrition Pgm (ENP)
Congregate Meals, home delivered meals, all ages > 60
Medicare
health insurance for people >65; any age w/ ESRD
Medicaid
payment for medical care for all eligible needs, all ages, blind, disabled, dependent children
Entitlement Pgm
payment of benefits to all eligible people as established by law. Ex. SNAP, Medicare, Medicaid
Nutrition Diagnosis
a nutritional problem that dietetics professionals are responsible for treating independently
Three domanins
NC - Clinical
NI - Intake (always the priority)
NB - Behavorial/Environmental
PES
One problem
One etiology
Assessment of signs & symptoms
Ex: Chewing difficulty (P) related to oral surgery (E) as evidence by missing teeth (S)
Altered GI Function (NC 1.4)
looks at probs inside the GI tract w/ changes in digestion, absorption, +/- elimination
Indicators: abnormal digestive enzyme & fecal fat studies; distention; nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; steatorrhea; constipation; malabsorb; IBD; diverticulitis
Impaired nutrient utilization (NC 2.1)
prob w/ metabolism of nutrients once entered the circulatory system. Endocrine functions.
Thin, wasted appearance, abnorm liver function, pit hormone, hypogly, hypergly, renal or liver failure, IEM
Evidence based dietetics practice
reviewed scientific evidence used in making decisions
Discharge Plans
begins on day 1 - discharge note includes summary of nutrition therapies & outcomes
Ulcer
eroded musosal lesion; h. pylori; antibiotics to fix; diet - as tolerated, well balanced; avoid late night snacks;
Avoid excess caffeine & etoh
Hiatal Hernia
protrusion of portion of stomach above diaphragm into chest; heartburn main Sx
small, bland feedings, avoid late night snacks, caffeine, chili powder & b. pepper
Dumping Syndrome
follows gastrectomy (Billroth I, II)
cramps, weakness, rapid pulse, dizziness, BP drops,
when sugar enters the jujenum, H2O drawn in to achieve osmotic balance. Causes drop in BP. BG rises - stimulates insulin, causing drop in BG below fasting. “Reactive hypoglycemia”
Deficiencies due to Gastrectomy
Iron - bleeding, impaired absorbtion due to loss of acid
B12 - lack of intrinsic factor & bacterial overgrowth - pernicious anemia
Folate - need B12 for transport inside cell; poor intake & low serum iron
- Small, dry feedings, fluids before/after meals, restrict concentrated sweets, moderate fat, B12 injections -
Gastroparesis
delayed gastric emptying
moderate-severe hypergly
prokinetics, increase stomach contractility
small, frequent meals, pureed foods, avoid high fiber
Diverticular Disease
Losis - prescence of diverticula; small mucosal sacs that protrude through intestine wall; need high fiber diet
Lisis - when diverticula become inflammed as a result of food & residue accumulation & bacterial action; clear liquids, low-res, or elemental, gradual return to high fiber
Fiber
Provides indigestible bulk, promotes intestinal function
Dietary - non digestible CHO & lignin, binds H2O, increase fecal bulk (legumes, wheat bran, fruits, veggies, whole grains)
Soluble - decrease serum CHL by binding bile acids converting more CHL into bile; delay gastric emptying, absorb H2O (fruits, veggies, legumes, oats, barley, carrots, apples, citrus fruits, strawberries, bananas)
25-38 gms/day
IBD
regional enteritis (Crohns); affects terminal ileum, wt. loss, diarrhea
B12 efficiency
ulcerative colitis (UC) - chronic bloody diarrhea, electrolyte disturbances, dehydration
Maintain fluid & electrolyte balance
Flare-ups - bowel rest, PN or minimal residue, Vit C given at therapeutic levels
IBS
chronic ab discomfort, alt. intestine motility
goals - adequate intake; avoid large meals, exccess caffeine, ETOH, sugars
use food diary
Lactose Intolerance
lactase deficiency. when lactose remains intact, H2O is drawn into intestine to dilute the load causing distention, cramps, diarrhea.
Lactose Intolerance Test
If intolerant - BG rise <25 above fasting (flat curve). If tolerant - BG > 25 above fasting (normal)
yogurt & some aged cheese may be tolerated
Diarrhea
Children - agressive & immediate rehydration w/ fluids & electrolytes
Chronic non-specific infantile - give 40% kcals from fat, balance w/ limited fluids, restrict juices w/ high osmolar load (apple, grape)
Adult - remove the cause; bowel rest, replace lost fluids & electrolytes; BRAC diet (prebiotics); probiotics
Steatorrhea - normal stool fat 2-5g; > 6g indicative of malabsorption
