Study Notes
Clinical Nutrition 2 Lecture 1
- The lecture is presented by Dr. Alzahraa Motawei, a lecturer in Food Sciences & Nutrition at the Faculty of Agriculture, Mansoura University.
- The course aims to provide the methodology and timing of nutritional assessment.
- Learning objectives include understanding nutritional principles for specific diseases, using nutritional assessment parameters, and knowing feeding routes, regimens, and timing of enteral nutrition (EN) initiation.
- The course also covers monitoring feeding, managing complications from EN and parenteral nutrition (PN) feeding, and creating individualized nutritional plans.
- Obtaining adequate nutrition is essential for survival.
- Malnutrition in hospital settings is a significant issue. 30-60% of patients are malnourished and 10-25% experience worsening conditions while hospitalized.
- Malnutrition leads to high morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and higher mortality rates.
Clinical Nutrition (Medical Nutrition Therapy)
- The medical purpose of clinical nutrition is achieving or maintaining a good nutritional status.
The Nutrition Care Process
- The nutrition care process involves five steps.
- Assess nutritional status.
- Analyze data to determine nutrient requirements.
- Develop a nutrition care plan meeting patient needs.
- Implement the care plan.
- Evaluate care plan effectiveness through ongoing follow-up, reassessment, and modifications.
Patient Care Team
- A team approach to patient care is interdisciplinary.
- The team involves physicians, registered dietitians, registered nurses, pharmacists, occupational therapists, and social workers.
Patient Participation
- Patients should be active participants in their care process.
Assessing Nutritional Status
