Study Notes

Diet Types and Purposes

A clear-liquid diet serves to maintain hydration while easing digestive processes before or after medical procedures.
Allowed items in a full-liquid diet include smoothies, cream soups, and milk, providing more nutrition than a clear-liquid diet.
A soft diet is typically used after surgery, for people with chewing difficulties, or during recovery from certain medical conditions.
Acute infections and fever may necessitate a high-calorie, nutritious diet to support energy needs and recovery.
Foods like solid meats and raw vegetables are NOT allowed in a clear-liquid diet due to their indigestibility.

Soft and Renal Diets

The primary reason for using a soft diet is to make food easier to chew and swallow while promoting comfort and nutrition.
A renal diet controls protein, potassium, sodium, and fluid intake, essential for managing kidney function.
High-protein, high-carbohydrate diets are used in situations requiring additional energy, such as recovery from surgery or trauma.
Sodium-restricted diets are recommended for hypertension, heart failure, and specific kidney diseases.
Common food items avoided in a renal diet include bananas, which are high in potassium.

Sodium Management

A diet aimed at reducing sodium content helps manage edema and promotes water excretion.
High-sodium foods like processed snacks and canned soups should be avoided in a sodium-restricted diet.
Heart failure and hypertension management often rely on low-sodium diets to prevent fluid retention.

Infant Nutrition

Infants are considered to be within the age range of birth to 12 months.
Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months by WHO, DOH, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The primary benefit of breastfeeding for infants includes optimal nutrition and immunity support.
Breastfeeding provides key physiological and psychological benefits for mothers, such as bonding and emotional well-being.
Adding carbohydrates to formula for bottle feeding helps meet the energy needs of growing infants.
During the first six months, additional liquids like water and juice are unnecessary due to sufficient hydration from breast milk or formula.
Infants primarily rely on breast milk or formula for their protein needs.

Supplementation and Growth

Iron supplementation is typically needed for infants around six months of age due to increased demands.
Nutritional energy requirements for infants from birth to six months should primarily be met through breast milk or formula.
The fluid requirement for an infant is approximately 150-200 mL per kg of body weight daily.
Vitamin D supplementation is necessary after six months to fulfill the infant's nutritional needs.
Infants usually double their birth weight by six months of age, demonstrating significant growth.
After 12 months, supplementary sources of carbohydrates should include foods like rice, cereal, or bread.
In case of significant fluid loss due to diarrhea or vomiting, oral rehydration solutions are essential for replenishment.
The approximate calorie requirement for an infant at one year of age is about 1,000 calories per day.
Infants typically experience a 50% increase in length by their first birthday.
