Study Notes

Healthy People 2030 Organization

Aims to improve the health and well-being of individuals and communities in the United States.
Focuses on identifying and addressing social determinants of health.
Sets specific measurable objectives to guide health policies and practices.
Encourages collaboration among governmental and non-governmental organizations to promote health equity.
Works to enhance public awareness of health issues and encourage healthy behaviors.
Emphasizes preventive care and wellness as critical components of health.

Essential vs Non-essential Nutrients

Essential Nutrients: Substances that the body cannot synthesize on its own and must be obtained through diet.
- Examples include vitamins (A, C, D, E, K), minerals (calcium, potassium, iron), certain amino acids, and fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6).
Non-essential Nutrients: Nutrients that the body can produce in sufficient quantities, not necessarily required from external sources.
- Includes certain amino acids (like alanine and aspartic acid) and specific fatty acids.
Both essential and non-essential nutrients play vital roles in maintaining body functions, supporting growth, and preventing diseases.

Nutrition: Chapters 1-3

Healthy People 2030 aims to improve health and well-being for all Americans through measurable objectives.
Essential nutrients must be consumed through diet; non-essential nutrients can be synthesized by the body.
Carbohydrates provide 4 kcal/g, proteins 4 kcal/g, and fats 9 kcal/g.
Protein's primary function is to build and repair tissues, while vitamins and minerals facilitate various biochemical processes.
Pre-surgical dietary recommendations often suggest a high-protein diet to aid recovery.
Amino acids serve as the building blocks of proteins and play roles in metabolism and neurotransmitter function.
Malnutrition encompasses undernutrition (insufficient intake) and overnutrition (excessive intake).
Elderly, hospitalized individuals, and those with chronic diseases are at higher risk for malnutrition.
Complex carbohydrates can be found in foods like whole grains, legumes, and vegetables.
Carbohydrates are vital globally for energy and nutrients, especially in grains and tubers.
Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel; whole wheat refers specifically to wheat products that include the bran, germ, and endosperm.
Carbohydrate classes:
- Monosaccharides (e.g., glucose, fructose)
- Disaccharides (e.g., sucrose, lactose)
- Polysaccharides (e.g., starch, glycogen)
Glycogen serves as a storage form of glucose in animals, primarily found in the liver and muscles.
Soluble fiber aids in digestion and lowers cholesterol; insoluble fiber promotes regular bowel movements.
Peristalsis is the movement of food through the digestive tract, traveling from the esophagus to the stomach and intestines.
Symptoms of lactose intolerance include bloating, diarrhea, and gas after consuming dairy products.
Fats are essential for energy, hormone production, and nutrient absorption.
Saturated fats are typically solid at room temperature and found in animal products; unsaturated fats are liquid and come from plants.
Animal fats tend to be higher in saturated fats, while plant fats usually contain unsaturated fats.
Nutrition concepts are crucial in managing urinary disorders, influencing dietary practices to improve health outcomes.

Adult Health: Chapter 10 - Urinary Disorders

The urinary system primarily regulates fluid balance, electrolytes, and waste removal from the body.
The kidneys perform filtration, reabsorption, and secretion, playing crucial roles in homeostasis.
Ureters transport urine from kidneys to the bladder.
The bladder stores urine until it's eliminated from the body.
The kidneys are part of the renal system, which includes the ureters, bladder, and urethra.
Adrenal glands secrete hormones like aldosterone, regulated by the renin-angiotensin system.
Kidney anatomy includes the renal cortex, renal medulla, and renal pelvis, each with specific functions.
Nephrons filter blood to produce urine; they consist of a glomerulus and renal tubule.
GFR (glomerular filtration rate) indicates kidney function, measuring how much blood is filtered per minute.
Juxtaglomerular cells monitor blood pressure and trigger renin release to regulate blood flow.
Urine formation involves filtration, reabsorption, and secretion processes in the nephrons.
The glomerulus filters blood, allowing water and small molecules to pass while retaining larger molecules.
The posterior pituitary releases antidiuretic hormone (ADH), controlling water reabsorption in the kidneys.
Average daily urine production is 1 to 2 liters, influenced by hydration and diet.
Urine color can indicate hydration levels: yellow (well-hydrated), amber (dehydrated), dark (severely dehydrated).
Hematuria refers to the presence of blood in urine, which can signify underlying health issues.
Older adults may experience decreased bladder capacity, reduced kidney function, and incontinence.
BUN (blood urea nitrogen) is a measure of kidney function; normal range is typically 7-20 mg/dL.
Tests for urinary disorders include PSA, urine osmolality, serum creatinine, KUB test, renal angiography, CT, MRI, and ultrasound.
Thiazide diuretics reduce blood pressure by decreasing fluid retention; loop diuretics are more potent at eliminating excess fluid.
Potassium-sparing diuretics help retain potassium while promoting diuresis.
Nursing interventions involve monitoring I&O (intake and output), electrolyte levels, and renal function.
Dietary restrictions may include sodium, potassium, and phosphorus management for patients with urinary disorders.
UTI medications may include antibiotics; patient education is essential for adherence and prevention methods.
Acid-Ash foods (acid-producing) and Alkaline-Ash foods (alkaline-producing) affect urine pH and can influence certain conditions.
Types of catheters vary: intermittent (self-catheterization) and indwelling (long-term), differing in use and complication risks.
Self-catheterization training includes hygiene practices and proper technique to minimize infection risk.
Preventing catheter-associated UTIs involves maintaining a sterile technique and keeping the catheter clean.
After catheter removal, patient teaching should cover signs of complications and re-establishing normal urinary patterns.
Signs/symptoms of UTI include urgency, frequency, burning sensation during urination, and cloudy urine.
Functional incontinence occurs when physical or cognitive impairments hinder timely bathroom access.
Neurogenic bladder is characterized by abnormal bladder control due to nerve damage; medications like anticholinergics may help.
Nursing interventions for neurogenic bladder include bladder training programs and patient education on self-management.
Antibiotics for UTIs should be discussed with patients to ensure proper use and adherence.
Patient teaching for cystitis includes fluid intake recommendations, hygiene practices, and recognizing symptoms.
Pyelonephritis (kidney infection) and hydronephrosis (swelling of a kidney due to urine buildup) differ in causes and symptoms.
Renal tumors can arise from genetic or environmental factors; early detection is crucial.
Prostate cancer etiology involves risk factors like age, family history, and diet; patient education should include screening options.
Nursing intervention for glomerulonephritis includes monitoring vital signs, lab values, and fluid balance.
Causes of renal failure may include acute illness, chronic disease, and nephrotoxic medications.
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requires monitoring for decreased urine output, elevated creatinine, and electrolyte imbalances.
Dialysis options include hemodialysis (filtering blood through a machine) and peritoneal dialysis (using the abdominal lining for filtration).
