Study Notes
Energy and Digestion
- Main energy source for the body is glucose.
- Digestion begins in the mouth.
- Emptying of the stomach into the small intestine is controlled by the pyloric sphincter.
Absorption and Nutrient Reactions
- Absorption of nutrients and water-soluble vitamins mainly occurs in the small intestine.
- Catabolic reactions take place in cells after nutrients are digested, absorbed, and transformed.
Eating Disorders
- Self-imposed starvation is known as anorexia nervosa.
- Bulimia nervosa is characterized by laxative abuse, binge eating, followed by purging.
Dietary Components
- Predominant component of a vegetarian diet is plant-based foods.
- Risk factors associated with malnutrition include age, illness, and inadequate food intake.
Saliva and Nutrition Therapy
- Main function of saliva in digestion is to begin the breakdown of carbohydrates and lubricate food for swallowing.
- Parenteral nutrition (PN) therapy is beneficial in scenarios where patients are unable to consume food orally.
Diet Types and Preferences
- A soft diet includes easily digested foods like pastas, moist meats, and canned vegetables.
- Preferred method to meet nutrition needs if a patient cannot swallow is enteral nutrition (EN).
Nutrition Formulas and Conditions
- Basic Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) formula primarily consists of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
- A gluten-free diet eliminates wheat, oats, rye, barley, and their derivatives.
IV Nutrition Support
- Parenteral nutrition support is provided intravenously.
- Varied caloric recommendations are necessary for patients with specific metabolic demands.
BMR and MNT Goals
- Basal metabolic rate (BMR) refers to the amount of energy expended while at rest.
- Main objective of Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is to manage medical conditions through improved nutrition.
Healthy People 2030 Objectives
- Increasing consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains aims to improve overall health.
- Reducing added sugars, saturated fats, and sodium is crucial to prevent chronic diseases.
- Aiming to increase calcium, potassium, and vitamin D intake supports bone and cardiovascular health.
- Reducing iron deficiency among children aged 1 to 2 is vital for proper growth and development.
Food Security and Nutrition Goals
- Increasing schools that do not sell unhealthy foods promotes better eating habits in children.
- Eliminating very low food security among children is important for their physical and mental well-being.
- Reducing household food insecurity aims to enhance the nutritional quality of family diets.
- Decreasing the proportion of adults with high blood pressure is necessary to reduce cardiovascular risk.
Parenteral Nutrition (PN) Details
- Goal of PN therapy is to provide necessary nutrition to patients unable to eat normally.
- Avoid using admixture if oil droplets or an oily layer is visible to ensure safety.
- A central venous catheter (CVC) is required for PN with greater than 10% dextrose to prevent complications.
- An infusion pump regulates the delivery rate of PN solutions.
- IV solutions of less than 10% dextrose can be administered via a peripheral vein in appropriate situations.
GI Tract Use and Catheters
- Risk associated with disuse of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract includes atrophy and loss of function.
- Intravenous fat emulsions support a patient’s calorie needs through supplemental fat.
- A standard catheter is used for short-term nutritional needs in patients.
- It is essential to confirm placement and patency of a PICC line before flushing and using it.
