Study Notes
Nutritional Instruction for Clients
- Nurses provide nutritional instructions to clients for various reasons, including preventing osteoporosis, managing fatigue, and adhering to specific diets.
- The nurse should incorporate client preferences and dietary restrictions.
Nutrient Intake and Caloric Content
- Calcium intake is crucial for osteoporosis prevention.
- A food item with 15g carbohydrate, 4g protein, and 10g fat contains 166 calories.
- Daily fiber intake for adult women is 20-35g.
Dietary Recommendations
- Foods high in iron, like canned black beans, are recommended for iron deficiency anemia.
- A low-fat, high-fiber diet includes options like fresh pears, bran cereal, and refried beans.
- Canola oil has the lowest saturated fat content compared to other cooking oils.
- Skinless white turkey meat is a lean protein source.
- Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be stored.
- Avoid orange juice and yogurt for a low potassium diet.
Nutritional Assessment and Client Education
- Assess energy content of foods from lunch trays, considering fats, along with carbohydrates and proteins.
- Healthy BMI is 150lb and 68 inches.
- Clients with diverticulitis should increase their fiber intake by consuming foods like sweet potatoes.
- Nutritional needs vary at different life stages and understanding that "older adults have altered food flavor from a decrease in taste cells" is important.
- 1 cup ready-to-eat cereal flakes provides an ounce of grains.
- Chicken is a good source of protein.
- Albumin levels may be altered in clients with anorexia and malnutrition.
- Vitamin C aids in iron absorption.
- Consuming foods high in vitamin K can produce toxic effects.
Dietary Instructions for Specific Conditions
- Clients with cancer need foods that help prevent protein-energy malnutrition (e.g., milkshakes).
- Clients with diverticulitis should increase fiber intake.
- Clients with dumping syndrome should avoid foods like fresh apples.
- Clients with low sodium diets should avoid pickled vegetables.
- Clients with low potassium diets should avoid orange juice and yogurt.
- Clients with type 1 diabetes should choose solid foods instead of liquids during illness.
- Clients should consume a variety of foods to obtain nutrients, like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
- Clients who are vegetarians should be provided with food options to prevent nutrient deficiencies.
Other Considerations
- Assessing client needs for specific conditions like anemia, osteoporosis, and dumping syndrome and appropriate nutritional counseling.
- Providing dietary education to groups of older adults, parents of adolescents, and athletes.
- Recognizing factors impacting food choices, such as low socioeconomic status or illiteracy.
- Using the MyPlate system for dietary recommendations.
