NUTRITION CARE PROCESS Flashcards
Structured interview intended to capture detailed information about all foods and beverages. Consumed by the respondent in the past 24 hours
24- HOUR DIETARY RECALL
a systematic method that dietetics and nutrition professionals use to provide nutrition care
Nutrition care process
to critically think and make decisions to address nutrition-related problems and provide safe and effective quality nutrition care
Use of nutrition care process
The RDN collects and documents information such as food or nutrition-related history; biochemical data, medical tests and procedures anthropometric measurements, nutrition-focused physical findings and client history.
Nutrition Assessment
ABCD of nutritional assessment?
Anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, and dietary.
The first step in the NCP begins when a referral is made to the dietitian professional.
Nutrition Assessment
The second step in the NCP links nutrition assessment and intervention.
Nutrition Diagnosis
The third step includes planning and implementing a plan focused on the nutrition problem identified in the nutrition diagnosis.
This step includes discussing with the resident and other members of the interdisciplinary team realistic goals and creating a plan to reach that goal
Nutrition Intervention
The final step is monitoring the progress that has been made by the resident. This final step links back to the first step as the RD assesses the progress made in weight status, meal intake, labs, and nutrition-focused physical findings.
Nutrition Monitoring and Evluation
objective observation using a duplicate diet approach or food consumption record by a trained research staff.
Dietary Intake
undertaken at a national and regional level to assess population nutritional status.
Nutrient Intake or NRI
a daily log of what you eat and drink each day.
It can help you understand your eating habits and patterns, and help you identify the foods — good and not-so-good — you eat on a regular basis.
Food diary
consists of a finite list of foods and beverages with response categories to indicate usual frequency of consumption over the time period queried.
Food frequency or food frequency quetionnaire
Assess diet and to validate other diet assessment instruments
24-HOUR DIETARY RECALL
Non-invasive quantitative body measurements used to assess growth, development, and health parameters.
Anthropometrics
Develop guidelines for evaluation growth, nutritional status, weight status, and disease risk in individual
Anthropometry
Height, Weight, Head circumference, Upper arm measurement, Skinfold
Anthropometric measurements
Anthropometric measurements, Clinical examination, Biochemical tests, Dietary/Social history
Nutritional Assessment
Body’s relative mass or the quantity of matter contained it
Weight
Weight in pound/(height in inches X height in inches) X 703
computation of BMI
The percentage of fat, bone, and muscle in your body
Body composition
Measure of the sum of the muscle and subcutaneous fat in the upper arm
MidUpper Arm Circumference
Normal MUAC
male: >23cm female >22cm
Thickness of subcutaneous fat at various sites of the body
Skinfold thickness measurement (sftm)
Estimate general fatness and the distribution of subcutaneous adipose tissue
Purpose of skinfold test
3 skinfold sites
Chest, abdomen and thigh on men
Triceps, suprailiac, and thigh on women
Fold of excess abdominal fat and skin
common problem area for adults who are obese
Abdominal pannus
Total mass of fat divided by total body mass
Body fat percentage (BFP)
Five-step screening tool to identify adults who are malnourished, at risk of malnutrition (undernutrition), or obese.
Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST)
A nutrition assessment tool that refers to an overall evaluation of a patient’s history and physical examination and uses structured clinical parameters to diagnose malnutrition
Subjective global assessment (SGA)
Screening tool to help identify elderly patients who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition
Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA)
A simple screening tool to predict the risk of nutrition-related morbidity and mortality in elderly patients
