Parenteral/Enteral Nutrition Flashcards
What are the responsibilities of the provider with nutritional support for patients?
Ordering dietary needs for, and supporting patients
What are some considerations for ordering oral nutritional support for patients?
Need to order a specific type, feeding tube may be needed
What are some considerations for ordering IV nutritional support for patients?
Need to order pharmacy consult and include diagnosis/total volume
Will also need to order IV access
Dietary support for nutritional needs?
Consult on oral nutrition types, evaluations on nutritional needs of ANY patient
Pharmacy support for nutritional needs?
Order & monitor parental nutrition w/ consult of dietary
Nursing support for nutritional needs?
Patient history, tube & IV access
SNS stands for what?
Nutritional support (aka specialized nutritional supplementation)
*enteral or parenteral
EN stands for what?
Enteral nutrition
(food supplementation using the gut)
PN stands for what?
Parenteral nutrition (aka total parenteral nutrition)
*food supplementation using IV access
Indications for SNS?
Non-functional GI tract, Critically ill patients, Eating disorders
Causes of a non-functional GI tract?
Bowel obstruction or resection, Intractable vomiting/severe diarrhea, Malabsorption, Bowel rest needed for >7 days, Enterocutaneous fistula
Intractable vomiting/severe diarrhea causing non-functional GI tract might be present in which conditions?
Pregnancy hyperemesis gravidarum (pregnancy N/V), Cancer patients
Bowel rest needed for >7 days causing non-functional GI tract might be present in which conditions?
Pancreatitis
What would classify as critically ill patients requiring extra nutritional support?
Burn or multi-system organ failure, COVID
Pediatric indications for SNS?
Non-functional GI tract, Critical illness, Inability to tolerate or deliver adequate nutrition
Pediatric causes of non-functional GI tract?
Bowel obstruction, Prolonged ileus, Peritonitis, Intractable vomiting/severe diarrhea, Enterocutaneous fistula, Short bowel syndrome
Pediatric causes of critical illness requiring extra nutritional support?
Hemodynamically instability, Severe metabolic state
Nutritional supplemental decision tree?
Disease state of nutritional deficiency –>Is pt alreadynnutritional deficient? –> Would SNS improve outcome/quality of life –> Is GI tract working? (yes = EN, no= possible TPN) –> How long will patient need SNS? (will determine tx for functional bowel SNS)
If patient has functional GI tract and needs SNS for <4 days, which support is recommended?
Fluid/electrolyte support
If patient has functional GI tract and needs SNS for >4 days, which support is recommended?
TPN
If patient has dysfunctional GI tract, which SNS is recommended?
EN
Pros of enteral nutrition?
Lets gut keep working, cost efficient
Cons of enteral nutrition?
Diarrhea, aspiration, requires GI function
Pros of parenteral nutrition?
Does not require GI function
Cons of parenteral nutrition?
Requires IV access, increases the risk of: infection, thrombosis, hyperglycemia, metabolic abnormalities, fluid overload
1 kg is equal to how many pounds?
2.2 lbs
What is the ideal body weight (IBW) for men?
50kg + (2.3 kg x inches over 5 ft)
What is the ideal body weight (IBW) for women?
45.5kg + (2.3 kg x inches over 5 ft)
What is the formula for adjusted body weight?
IBW + 0.4 (actual weight - IBW)
When to use actual body weight for supplemental nutrition orders?
If actual is lower than IBW
When to use adjusted body weight for supplemental nutrition orders?
If patient’s BMI is > or = 25
Daily fluid requirements for Neonates?
Day 1: 60 mL/kg/day
Day 2: 80 mL/kg/day
Day 3: 100 mL/kg/day
Thereafter: 100-150 mL/kg/day
Daily fluid requirements for infants that are 3.5-10kg?
100 mL/kg/day
Daily fluid requirements for children that are 11-20kg?
1000 mL + 50 mL/kg/day (over 10 kg)
Daily fluid requirements for children that are >20kg?
1500 mL + (20mL) (W in kg-20kg)
How to calculate basal energy expenditure (BEE) for men?
66.67 + 13.75 * (W) + (5.0 * H) - (6.76 * A)
A = age
W = weight in kg
H = height
