Study Notes

DTC203 Final Exam Review

Exam Format: 5 True/False (1 pt each), 40 Multiple Choice (1.5 pts each), 10 Matching (1.5 pts each), choose 2 of 3 short answer questions (10 pts each). Focus is on material since exam #3. Matching includes basic nutrition concepts.

Upper GI Disorders

Relationship between Oral Health and Nutrition: Oral health impairment impacts overall nutrition. Pain and discomfort from gingivitis, glossitis, or mouth sores limit food intake. Malnutrition can also harm oral health.
Vitamin C and Oral Health: Vitamin C is needed for collagen formation and tooth integrity. Citrus fruits are a good source. Historical explorers' scurvy highlights this importance.
Drug Side Effects: Dry mouth (xerostomia) is a common side effect that significantly alters the taste and mouthfeel of foods. Saliva substitutes can help. Patients may benefit from gravies, oils, and butter to lubricate food and ease swallowing. Bland foods are better tolerated when saliva is absent.

Lower GI Disorders

Constipation and Diarrhea: Treatment focuses on managing the cause of diarrhea. Secretory diarrhea is often associated with bacterial infections, osmotic diarrhea results from malabsorption, while motility diarrhea is related to rapid transit through the intestines.
Malabsorption Issues: Lactose intolerance is due to insufficient lactase, resulting in osmotic diarrhea. Pancreatitis is a cause of pancreatic enzyme issues; gallstones can block the pancreatic duct. Cystic fibrosis, celiac disease, and tropical sprue involve sloughing of intestinal cells, impeding absorption.
Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis: These inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) cause malabsorption issues during flare-ups. They may necessitate long term TPN.
Kidney Stones: Calcium oxalate stones are the most common type, often due to elevated urine calcium levels. Thiazide diuretics, moderate protein intake, and avoiding vitamin C supplements can help manage hypercalciuria. Uric acid stones are related to high purine intake. Cystine stones result from a metabolic disorder.

Diabetes

Diagnosis: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease destroying pancreatic beta cells (insulin production). Type 2 diabetes results from insulin resistance.
Symptoms: Excessive thirst (polydipsia), hunger (polyphagia), and frequent urination (polyuria) are common symptoms of uncontrolled diabetes.
Complications: Long-term hyperglycemia can cause complications like neuropathy, retinopathy, and nephropathy. Increased risk of cardiovascular damage (CVD).

Cardiovascular Disease

Mechanism: Atherosclerosis is the buildup of fatty deposits in the blood vessels, which impacts blood flow and can lead to problems like heart attacks and stroke.
Risk Factors: The risk factors include age, gender, family history, high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, inactivity, smoking, and diet including high fat and sugar intake.

Renal Disorders

Kidney Stones: Fluid intake is important to prevent the formation of kidney stones. Common type of stone is calcium oxalate, which can be decreased by limiting calcium intake, or by taking diuretics.
Acute Renal Failure: This occurs when the kidneys suddenly stop working, which may result from conditions like severe dehydration or bleeding. It leads to symptoms like oliguria, edema, and uremia.
Chronic Renal Failure: Chronic renal failure is a gradual loss of kidney function often related to diabetes and hypertension. It leads to functional impairment of the 5 major functions, and can lead to edema and electrolyte imbalances

Other Notes

Cancer: Lifestyle choices such as eating fruits and vegetables and reducing exposure to carcinogens are important cancer prevention factors. Cancer is caused by unregulated cell growth due to cellular damage.
Hypermetabolic States: Individuals undergoing certain treatments or conditions (e.g., cancer or transplant recovery) may have a hypermetabolic state that requires individualized nutritional needs.
