Study Notes
Nutritional Assessment in Clinical Care
- Uncovers nutritional deficiencies, risks, and imbalances that may impact a patient's health.
- Helps identify patients who may benefit from dietary modifications or therapeutic diets.
Professional Planning Clinical/Therapeutic Nutrition
- Typically planned by registered dietitians or nutrition specialists trained in medical nutrition therapy.
Therapeutic Diets in Cancer Patients
- Commonly ordered for symptom management, enhancing nutritional intake, and reducing treatment side effects, such as nausea or weight loss.
Comprehensive Assessment for Nutritional Status
- Includes evaluation of dietary intake, anthropometric measurements, clinical symptoms, and biochemical data.
Modifications of Normal Diet
- Known as therapeutic diets, designed to improve specific health conditions or address unique dietary needs.
Medical Microbiology Focus
- Deals with the etiology (causes), pathogenesis (development), laboratory diagnosis, specific treatment, and control of infectious diseases caused by microorganisms.
Microorganism Visibility
- Infectious disease-causing microorganisms are typically too small to be seen with the naked eye.
Cellular Organisms Classification
- Broadly classified as prokaryotic (bacteria) or eukaryotic (fungi, protozoa, and animal/plant cells).
Binomial System of Nomenclature
- Each species is identified using a combination of a generic (genus) name and a specific (species) name.
Components of Medical Microbiology
- Includes five main fields: Bacteriology, Virology, Mycology, Parasitology, and the study of specific pathogens.
