    Study Notes

    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.
