N010 Dr. Garry Johnson, DHS, RN, CCRN Updated by Tina Abraham, MSN, RN What is Nutrition? Encompasses several disciplines: Biology Chemistry Physiology Nursing Basic part of health Growth and Development Maintenance and Repair Cellular metabolism Organ Function Cultural Traditional 3 Nutrients: The Biochemical Units of Nutrition Basal metabolic rate (BMR)  Energy needed at rest to maintain lifesustaining activities for a specific amount of time (breathing, circulation, HR, Temp Resting energy expenditure (REE)  Amount of energy needed to consume over 24hour period for the body to maintain internal working activities while at rest Nutrients  Energy necessary for the normal function of numerous body processes Biochemical Units of Nutrition Water ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ Water is the most basic of nutrients. Water makes up largest portion of our total body weight and is crucial for all fluid and cellular function. Fluid balance is essential for optimum health and bodily functions. A balanced input/output ratio is 1:1 Nutrients Vitamins   Fat soluble A,D,E, K Minerals  Water soluble C, B complex Body doesn’t store  Macro Daily requirement 100mg or more Balance pH Trace Basic Principles ◻ ◻ Kilocalories (kcal) measure energy in foods How do we gain or lose weight? Principles of Nutrition 8 Digestion  Mechanical breakdown that results from chewing, churning, and mixing with fluid and chemical reactions in which food reduces to its simplest form  https:// www.youtube.com/ watch?v=Og5xAdC8EUI Principles of Nutrition Absorption ◻ The small intestine, lined with fingerlike projections called villi, is the primary absorption site for nutrients. Metabolism- All biochemical reactions within the cells of the body Storage Elimination-Chyme moves by peristaltic action through the ileocecal valve into the large intestine, where it becomes feces. Nutritional Objectives for Healthy People ◻ ◻ ◻ Guidelines for dietary change recommend reduced fat, saturated fat, sodium, refined sugar, and cholesterol, and increased intake of complex carbohydrates and fiber. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS) and the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP).

The student nurse asks the nurse assigned to this patient about the relationship between drugs and nutrition. What is the most appropriate response for the nurse to make? a. “Foods alter the absorption or bioavailability of all drugs.” b. “If the patient skips a meal, drugs may not be taken.” c. “Some drugs increase the requirements for essential nutrients.” d. “Drugs should be taken with food to prevent GI irritation.” Copyright © 2020 by Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved. Answer 2 8 Answer: C “Some drugs increase the requirements for essential nutrients.” Some medications can be taken with food; other drugs must be taken without food. Food may alter the absorption or bioavailability of some drugs, but not all drugs. Copyright © 2020 by Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved. Quick Quiz 2 9 For which patients is it most important for the nurse to refer to a dietitian for a complete nutritional assessment? a. A 38-yr-old with diabetes who is undergoing laser eye surgery b. A 55-yr-old with a history of alcohol use disorder who is hospitalized with a fractured femur from a fall c. A 24-yr-old who has been taking a burst of corticosteroid therapy for 1 week for treatment of an asthma exacerbation d. A 45-yr-old hospitalized with nausea and abdominal pain who has had no oral intake and only IV fluids of D5 ½ NS for 6 days Copyright © 2020 by Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved. Answer 3 0 Answer: B A 55 year old with a history of alcohol use disorder who is hospitalized with a fractured femur from a fall Rationale A person who is at nutritional risk should have a full nutritional assessment. The person at greatest risk is the person with alcohol use disorder and a fractured femur. Drugs such as corticosteroids place the individual at risk for malnutrition, but the person in Option 3 is only taking the drug short-term. Patients with chronic illnesses (such as diabetes) (Option 1) are at nutritional risk but not as high risk as Option 2. The person in Option 4 is at risk for malnutrition after 10 days of only receiving intravenous fluids. Copyright © 2020 by Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.

Offers more variety and nutritional support than a clear liquid diet. Indications-transition from liquid to soft diets, post-op recovery, gastritis, febrile conditions and/or intolerance of solid foods. Can include yogurt, pudding, soups, ice cream, etc SOFT DIET ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ A soft diet contains whole foods that are low in fiber, lightly seasoned, and easily digested. Food textures may be vary somewhat. Fruits, vegetables, coarse breads and cereals, beans, and other potentially gas forming foods are excluded. Sometimes called mechanical soft diet Indicated for dysphagia, jaw surgery, GI surgery REGULAR or NORMAL DIET ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ A regular diet is indicated for clients who do not need dietary restrictions They are adjusted to meet age-specific needs throughout the life cycle. Individual preferences, food habits and ethnic values can be accommodated. Some facilities have moved to on demand diet ordering Well balanced, 1800 to 2400 calories, low spice and low fat Specialty Diets ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ Low Sodium Diabetic Diet Cardiac-Low Fat/Low Cholesterol Renal Diet-Low Protein Low Residue High Fiber Bland ◻ ◻ ◻ For Hypertension For Diabetics For Heart Patients especially CHF ◻ For ARF or CRF ◻ IBD, Diverticulitis Constipation Gastritis ◻ ◻ NURSING CONSIDERATIONS ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ Right diet for right client Allow time to eat Prepare client for meal Appearance of tray Observe how much & what Diet restrictions, test to be done, NPO NURSING CONSIDERATIONS ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ ◻ Chart I&O Observe teeth Conditions in room Need assistance Need extra?

Nasal tubes are associated with sinusitis, otitis, vocal cord paralysis, and medical device–related pressure injuries to the nose. Use ENFit connectors for all enteral nutrition sets, syringes, and feeding tubes.

Also known as central PN, greater than 10% dextrose requires central line Case Study Patient Profile M.K. is a 74-year-old woman who is being transferred to the rehabilitation unit 2 weeks after ischemic stroke. M.K. is accompanied by her daughter, who expresses frustration that her mother “just will not eat.” M.K. is currently on a soft, pureed diet. Subjective Data Daughter states she is very worried about her mother’s decreased appetite and food intake since the stroke Daughter states her mother has been losing weight since the stroke Objective Data Height 5’4”, weight 114 lb, body mass index (BMI) of 19.6. Patient lost 10 lb in the past 2 weeks since being hospitalized. Alert and oriented x 3 spheres Can follow directions but has difficulty expressing herself Coughs and chokes periodically when eating or drinking. A barium swallow test was performed to rule out dysphagia, and the test results found that the patient required thickened and pureed food. Skin and mucosa are dry, with tenting Has right-sided hemiplegia Appears pale, weak, tired Case Study What concerns do you have about M.K.? What other information is needed? Who else should be involved with M.K. care? What nursing interventions are used to decrease the risk of aspiration?
