Nutrition and Healthy Eating Lecture Quiz

Study Notes

The class starts with a prayer, emphasizing the importance of learning outside the classroom and activities for greater glory.
The lecture focuses on nutrition, covering topics like essential nutrients, digestion, absorption, and metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.
Learning outcomes include defining nutrition, identifying essential nutrients, discussing digestion, absorption, and metabolic processes, evaluating diets, and describing nursing interventions for nutritional problems.
Essential nutrients include macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, water) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals).
Carbohydrates consist of simple sugars (monosaccharides, disaccharides) and complex carbohydrates (starches, fibers).
Protein is essential for tissue growth and maintenance, categorized into essential and non-essential amino acids.
Lipids include fatty acids and cholesterol, with fats being solid at room temperature and oils being liquid.
Vitamins are classified into water-soluble (B, C) and fat-soluble (A, D, E, K), crucial for disease prevention and overall health.
Minerals include macro minerals (calcium, phosphorus) and micro minerals (iron, zinc), playing vital roles in bone health and immune function.
Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water are the six basic nutrients crucial for bodily functions and overall health.- Energy balance involves energy intake and output, with caloric value representing the amount of energy supplied by nutrients.
Different types of calories: small calorie (c or cal) raises 1g of water by 1 degree Celsius, large calorie (C or Cal) raises 1g of water by 15-16 degrees Celsius.
Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, protein provides 4 calories per gram, fat provides 9 calories per gram, and alcohol provides 7 calories per gram.
Basal metabolic rate is the rate at which the body metabolizes food to maintain energy requirements at rest, while resting energy expenditure is the calories needed to maintain basic body functions.
Ideal body weight is recommended for optimal health; body mass index (BMI) is an indicator of body fat stores and appropriateness of weight for height.
Factors affecting nutrition include development, sex, ethnicity, beliefs, lifestyle, economics, medications, health status, alcohol, advertising, and psychological factors.
Nutritional variations throughout the life cycle include specific dietary needs for neonates, infants, children, adolescents, adults, and older adults.
Dietary guidelines for Americans emphasize plant-based foods, reducing added sugars and fats, regular exercise, and daily consumption of essential nutrients like vitamin D, calcium, potassium, and fiber.
Filipino nutritional guidelines focus on messages such as consuming fish, breastfeed exclusively for six months, consuming calcium-rich foods, eating more vegetables and fruits, and maintaining proper body weight.
The food guide pyramid and MyPlate are visual aids to help individuals make healthy food choices, while vegetarian diets should ensure a balance of essential amino acids through complementary protein sources.- Types of dietary data include 24-hour food recall, food frequency record, food diary, and diet history
Possible nursing diagnoses for nutrition include imbalance nutrition, obesity, overweight, activity intolerance, constipation, chronic low self-esteem, risk for infection, and knowledge deficits
Nursing interventions for optimal nutritional status involve maintaining or restoring it, promoting healthy practices, preventing complications from malnutrition, managing weight, and providing home care planning
Caregivers should have knowledge of feeding clients, understanding their preferences, and ensuring safety
The concept of "you are what you eat" emphasizes taking care of one's body through mindful eating habits and nutrition for overall health and well-being.
