NUTRITION INTERVENTION
NUTRITION INTERVENTION
Purpose: The purpose of a nutrition intervention is
to
resolve or improve the nutrition diagnosis or
nutrition problem by provision of advice, education, or delivery of the food component of a specific diet
or meal plan tailored to the patient/client’s needs
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE NURSE IN
NUTRITION:
PPN (Peripheral
Parenteral Nutrition)
-central
venous access is not available, or for transition from TPN to
enteral or oral intake
-Peripheral Vein Route
-5% available in
concentration of
carbohydrates or dextrose
solution
- Nutritionally complete
solution, but administered to
peripheral vein, resulting in a
limited nutritional value.
_require short-term nutritional
support with fewer calories
per day
- isotonic
and contain no more than
10% of dextrose and 5% amino
acids
TPN (Total Parenteral
Nutrition)
undergoing treatment for cancer, bowel disorders, and those
suffering from trauma or
extensive burns, as these
condition are associated with
high caloric requirements
Parenteral Hyperalimentation
(IVH) route
|
70% available in
concentration of carbohydrates
or dextrose solution
Nutritionally complete solution
Use when caloric needs are very
high, when the anticipated
duration of therapy is greater
than 7 days
The solution to be administered is
hypertonic (composed of greater
than 10% dextrose).
. Peripheral Vein Route
– this route is
intended for patients with mild to
moderate nutritional deficiency
Short-term maintenance and
not hypermetabolic – NPO for 2
weeks
Supplemental energy and
protein to an oral diet
Weaning into enteral or
parenteral hyperalimentation
requiring additional energy and
protein
Parenteral Hyperalimentation (IVH) –
this is a long-term nutritional support
of 2 weeks for patients who cannot be
fed through the GIT
