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 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.
