Nutrition and Medical Care Summary

Water soluble vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, and folic acid have various functions and sources, and deficiencies can lead to specific health issues.
Vitamin B12 comes from animal products and requires intrinsic factor for absorption; deficiency is common in the elderly and those who have had stomach surgery.
Vitamin C is important for skin integrity and is found in citrus fruits and broccoli.
Minerals, including macro and micro minerals, are essential for proper bodily functioning.
Sodium is the most important electrolyte for water balance and distribution in the human body.
Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen and then fat in the body.
Liver converts ammonia to urea; kidneys remove urea from the bloodstream.
Potassium, magnesium, iron, iodine, chromium, and fluoride are essential for various bodily functions.
Nutritional guidelines are established to promote health and are adjusted for each person.
Visual status assessment includes observing skin, gums, teeth, weight, posture, and abdomen texture.
Diagnosis may involve assessing swallowing, gas exchange, and risk for unstable blood glucose level.
Planning, implementation, and evaluation of interventions are essential for effective patient care, including regular diet and specific dietary requirements based on individual needs.

Nutrition and Metabolism Overview

Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, providing energy and stored as glycogen or fat.
Protein provides structure, immunity, and regulates body processes, with 9 essential amino acids needed from diet.
Blood albumin maintains blood volume and pressure, and low levels cause dehydration and malnutrition.
Lipids serve as long-term energy storage, with different types like saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
Cholesterol is essential for steroid hormones and bile salt production, but high levels can lead to health concerns.
Water makes up 60-70% of the human body, plays a role in maintaining shape, blood volume, and temperature regulation.
Dehydration can occur due to various water loss mechanisms and leads to specific signs and symptoms.
Vitamins A, D, E, and K have specific roles in maintaining skin integrity, calcium absorption, and blood clotting.
Deficiencies in these vitamins can lead to various health issues such as anemia, weak bones, and uncontrolled bleeding.
Vitamin C and B are water-soluble and need daily intake, with specific functions in the body.
Clinical applications involve monitoring blood albumin levels, nitrogen balance, and metabolic waste products.
Concerns about fat intake include arthrosclerosis, plaque formation, and potential health risks like stroke and heart attack.
