Study Notes
Gastrointestinal Disorders
- Nurses need to understand nutritional needs of clients with GI disorders.
- Dietary needs should be assessed and dietary modifications recommended based on the condition.
- Understanding both primary and secondary prevention is key to successful treatment.
- Nutritional therapy aims to minimize or prevent symptoms in GI disorders.
- In some conditions like celiac disease, nutrition therapy is the primary treatment.
Assessment/Data Collection
- Assess for symptoms like difficulty chewing or swallowing.
- Check for nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
- Look for bloating, excessive gas, occult blood, or steatorrhea.
- Note abdominal pain, cramping, distension, and unusual bowel movements (e.g., pale, sticky).
- Assess changes in weight, eating patterns, or bowel habits.
- Ask about tobacco, alcohol, caffeine use.
- Inquire about over-the-counter medications, nutritional, and herbal supplements.
Nutritional Guidelines and Nursing Interventions
- Monitor gastrointestinal parameters like weight, lab values, and elimination patterns.
- Low-fiber diets are used for short periods for diarrhea or malabsorption issues.
- High-fiber diets can increase stool bulk, stimulate peristalsis, and prevent constipation.
- Foods high in residue (whole grains, raw fruits, and vegetables) should be avoided in low-fiber diets.
- Nausea and vomiting can have several causes, including decreased gastric acid secretion, medications, or infections.
- Begin with clear liquids, and gradually advance to full liquids and solid foods as tolerated.
Other Disorders
- Anorexia: Lack of appetite, can lead to nutrient deficiencies. Nurses should address stress at mealtimes and provide medications if appropriate.
- Constipation: Infrequent, difficult bowel movements due to various factors including lack of fiber, inactivity or medication side effects. Nursing actions should include assessing elimination patterns and encourage a high-fiber diet and oral fluids.
- Diarrhea: Significant fluid and electrolyte loss; needs nutritional therapy, addressing the cause, and providing low-fiber diets in short-term if necessary.
- Dysphagia: Difficulty swallowing. Nursing interventions should include modified food textures, evaluating medications and referring the client to a speech-language pathologist for appropriate dietary modifications.
- Dumping syndrome: Rapid emptying of stomach contents into the intestines after surgery. Symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, and cramping. Management includes small, frequent meals, a high-protein, low-fat diet, and avoiding liquid intake during meals.
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Stomach acid refluxing into the esophagus. Nurses should teach clients to avoid certain foods, maintain proper posture, and other interventions based on severity.
- Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining. Avoidance of alcohol, caffeine, and NSAIDs often forms part of the treatment.
- Celiac disease: Gluten intolerance leading to intestinal damage. Treatment involves a strict gluten-free diet, monitoring and treating associated deficiencies.
- Cholecystitis: Inflammation of the gallbladder, often related to gallstones. Dietary changes including low-fat diets might be necessary.
- Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas. Nurses should monitor clients for bleeding, anemia, and osteoporosis.
- Liver disease: Liver disorders (cirrhosis, hepatitis, cancer), often require high-protein, high-calorie diets. Management includes avoiding alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine.
Ileostomies and Colostomies
- Nutritional therapy for clients with these conditions focuses on fluid and electrolyte maintenance, and gradual advancement of diet from liquids to solid foods.
- High-fluid and fiber intake is essential to prevent complications.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
- IBD (Crohn's and ulcerative colitis) is managed nutritionally by a low-residue, high-calorie, and high-protein diet during flare-ups.
- Hydration and electrolyte balance need to be closely monitored.
Bariatric Surgery
- Nutritional counseling is essential and often focuses on high protein intake to avoid malnutrition. Dietary progression to pureed to soft foods is common.
Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD)
- Often involves managing pain by avoiding certain foods or medication use. Management includes modification of diet, avoidance of aggravating factors.
Lactose Intolerance
- Clients need to decrease intake of lactose-containing foods.
- Milk and dairy products, and corresponding products like ice cream, yogurt, etc. should usually be avoided or minimized.
