enteral nutrition definition Enteral nutrition is a method of providing nutritional support through the
gastrointestinal (GI) tract for individuals who are unable to eat or swallow but
have an intact and functional digestive system.
gastrostomy tube definition Gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes) are feeding tubes surgically or endoscopically
inserted directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall.
jejunostomy tube defintion A jejunostomy tube (J-tube) is a feeding tube surgically inserted directly into the
jejunum, the middle section of the small intestine.
Central vascular access device (CVAD) definition is a catheter inserted into a large vein in the central circulation, typically with its tip
positioned near the junction of the superior vena cava and the right atrium. Used
for long term therapy
peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is a long, thin tube inserted through a vein in the upper arm, typically in the
antecubital fossa or middle of the upper arm. Used for long term IV therapy
GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of antidiabetic medications that mimic the action of glucagon-like
peptide-1 (GLP-1), an incretin hormone
, metabolic syndrome criteria Metabolic syndrome is diagnosed when a patient presents with at least three of
the following criteria:
Central obesity: Waist circumference ≥40 inches (102 cm) in men or ≥35 inches (88
cm) in women
Elevated triglycerides: ≥150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L) or on treatment for high
triglycerides
Reduced HDL cholesterol: <40 mg/dL (1.03 mmol/L) in men or <50 mg/dL (1.29
mmol/L) in women

what does leptin do? regulates energy balance by inhibiting hunger and tells the hypothalamus you're
not hungry
produced by adipose tissue
what does insulin do? regulates blood sugar levels
determines how the body stores glucose and fat
what organ produces insulin the pancreas
what does ghrelin do? gut hormone
inhibits leptin
tells leptin to tell the hypothalamus you're hungry
where is ghrelin released from the gut
what are the three factors of obesity genetic/biologic, environmental, and psychosocial
what is important to teach patients for a healthier diet (4) -fruits and vegetables
