Study Notes
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.
