25
Q

Prothrombin Time (PT)

A

11-12.5 seconds; anticoagulants prolong PT

26
Q

Activity factors and BEE

A

BEE x 1.2 = sedentary

x1. 3= active
x1. 5= stressed

27
Q

Megace

A

appetite stimulant

28
Q

oral contraceptives

A

decreases folate, b6, and Vit C

29
Q

Loop diuretics

A

deplete K, Mg, Ca, Na, and Cl

30
Q

Thiazide diuretics

A

decreases K and Mg; absorb Ca

31
Q

Methotrexate (chemo agent)

A

decreases folate

32
Q

lithium carbonate (antidepressant)

A

increased appetite

-maintain consistent Na and caffeine intake; if restricted, lithium excretion decreases leading to toxicity

33
Q

anticoagulants (warfarin)

A

antagonizes Vit K – need to maintain consistent Vit K intake

34
Q

Propofol (diprivan)

A

administered in oil – need to consider fat calories (1.1kcal/cc)

35
Q

Isoniazid (treats TB)

A

Depletes pyridoxine; interferes with vitamin D –> leading to decreased Ca

36
Q

Vitamin B6 and protein

A

decreases effectiveness of levodopa –> controls symptoms of parkinsons Disease
-rec: take drug in AM with < 10gm protein

37
Q

nutrient that bind tetracycline

A

calcium

38
Q

Nutrient that can cause HTN if taken with MAOI (monoamine oxidase inhibitor)

A

Tyramine

-eliminate dopamine and restrict tyramine if taking MAO inhibitors

39
Q

Tyramine restriction if on MAO inhibitors

A

Restrict: aged, fermented, dried, pickled, smoked, spoiled foods
Avoid: hard aged cheeses, sauerkraut, lunch meat
-The more aged or fermented the cheese, the more tyramine in the product
ADVICE PT to Buy, cook, and eat fresh foods

40
