1. Carbohydrates: the starches and sugars present in foods
2. Fats: lipids; calorie-dense source of energy also used to make some hormones
3. Proteins: Nutrients the body uses to build and maintain its cells and tissues
4. Vitamins: Compounds found in food that help regulate many body processes
5. Minerals: Elements found in food that are used by the body
6. water: H2O; used to maintain cellular function and fluid balance
7. malnutrition: faulty or inadequate diet
8. Catabolism: Metabolic pathways that break down molecules, releasing energy.
9. DAT: diet as tolerated
10. CDA: Canadian Diabetes Association; diabetic diet
11. clear fluid: water, clear juice, Jell-O, broth
12. Full fluid diet: clear fluids plus milk, oatmeal, juice with pulp
13. Heart Healthy Diet: low fat (less than 30% of calories should be from fat)
14. Renal Diet: Low protein
Low sodium
Low Potassium
Low phosphate
15. upper GI series: series of radiographic images taken of the pharynx, esophagus, stomach, and duodenum
after the contrast agent barium has been administered orally
16. Lower GI series: a series of X-rays using a barium enema to show the large intestine and rectum. This
procedure can be used to identify problems such as diverticulitis/diverticulosis, and tumors.
17. PET scan: positron emission tomography; may be used to detect cancer and other diseases
18. Gastric motility study: patient consumes food with contrast; series of images are taken to determine the
time required for the contrast to pass through the body
19. gastroscopy: endoscopic examination of the stomach
20. colonoscopy: the direct visual examination of the inner surface of the entire colon from the rectum to the
cecum using endoscopy
21. nasogastric tube: tube inserted through the nose into the stomach; may be used for feeding OR decom-
pression of the stomach
22. gastrostomy tube: a surgically placed feeding tube from the exterior of the body into the stomach
23. Jejunostomy tube: A feeding tube inserted into a surgically created opening in the jejunum of the small
