Nutrition Facts
- Fats contain 9 calories per gram; carbohydrates and protein provide 4 calories per gram.
- A common guide for weight loss is the calorie deficit of 3500 calories to lose 1 pound.
- Yo-yo dieting involves cycles of weight loss and gain.
Vitamins and Minerals
- Vitamin C enhances iron absorption, important for preventing anemia; also aids in healing.
- Vitamin A is crucial for vision and bone growth; deficiency can lead to night blindness and fetal malformations.
- Vitamin D supports metabolism and calcium absorption; deficiency may lead to rickets and kidney stones.
- Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant; excess intake can cause gastrointestinal upset.
- Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting; deficiencies can result in poor clotting and bone density issues.
- Water-soluble vitamins include Vitamin C and the B complex, essential for various bodily functions.
Dietary Recommendations
- Recommended dietary intake includes 2 servings of fruit, 3 servings of vegetables, and whole grains.
- The most common cause of anemia is iron deficiency.
Stress Response
- The general adaptation system includes three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion.
- The alarm stage triggers sympathetic responses, like sweaty palms and dilated pupils.
Nursing Education and Communication
- Effective teaching begins with assessing the learner's needs and readiness, especially for children.
- Bloom's taxonomy includes intellectual abilities, from knowledge to evaluation.
- Maslow's hierarchy of needs outlines physiological, safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization needs.
- The four C's for effective communication are clear, concise, correct, and complete.
Leadership and Authority
- Leadership styles: autocratic (control), laissez-faire (free), democratic (participative).
- Authority can be legitimate (e.g., charge nurse) or based on earned respect (experienced nurse).
Nutrient Functions
- Nutrients: carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water.
- Macrominerals include sodium (affects blood pressure) and potassium (regulates electrolytes).
- Calcium is vital for bone health and muscle contractions; deficiency can lead to bone damage.
Cognitive Functions
- Five cognitive functions: memory, attention, learning, orientation, language.
- Learning can be categorized into andragogy (adults), pedagogy (children), and gerogogy (elderly).
Nursing Process
- Steps in the nursing process: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, evaluation.
- Effective data collection includes using ordinal scales (e.g., pain scales) and interval measures (e.g., temperature).
Food and Nutrition Security
- Food insecurity can lead to inadequate dietary intake affecting child growth.
- Discussions on nutritional intake should include examination of dietary habits and potential deficiencies.
Miscellaneous
- The role of the nurse in evidence-based practice involves assisting with data collection and analysis.
- Blood proteins like albumin help maintain osmotic pressure; low protein intake can lead to conditions such as kwashiorkor.
