ANSWERS
Identify the six classes of nutrients, explaining the significance of each - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅water,
vitamins, minerals
(regulate body processes)
carbohydrates, proteins, and fats/fatty acids
(energy)
foods that would be in each class of nutrients that you could educate your patient about - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅-Carbohydrates- Vegetables, Fruits, Whole grains, seeds, nuts, beans.
-Proteins- Spinach, Kale, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Mushrooms, Parsley, cucumbers, green peppers,
Cabbage, tomatoes, Beef, Chicken, eggs.
-Fats- Olive oil, Salmon, and egg yolks.
data that indicates protein calorie nutrition - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅prealbumin
Signs and symptoms of poor nutritional status - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Hair is dull/ falls out easily,
swollen glands in the neck and cheeks, dry skin, poor or delayed wound healing, change in bowels
habits, inflammation/bleeding gums, poor dental health, poor posture, Muscle wasting, edema or lower
extremities, weekended hand grasp, depressed mood, abnormal heart rate, enlarged liver/spleen, loss
of balance, dry/dull eyes.
what may contribute to the complication of diarrhea in a tube-fed client - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅-Too
cold
-Too fast
-Introduction of bacteria
nursing diagnoses that correctly identify nutritional problems that may be treated by independent
nursing interventions - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅-Teaching nutritional information
-Monitoring nutritional status
-Stimulating appetite: food looks attractive, control pain, nausea, or depression with medications, do
not disturb mealtimes
,-Assisting with eating: involve the client as much as possible, engage the person in pleasant conversation
to ease tension, when assisting visually impaired clients explain placement of foods on the plate in
reference to a clock
-Provide oral nutrition
-Providing long-term nutritional support
nursing interventions to safely deliver enteral nutrition - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅-Type of enteral feeding
tube: nasogastric (NG), stomach G-Tube, or J-Tube
-Method of formula being delivered
-Short term or long-term feeding will depend on the type of device used
components of a nutritional assessment - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅-History taking: dietary, medical,
socioeconomic data
-Physical assessment: anthropometric and clinical data
-Laboratory data: protein status, body vitamin, mineral, and trace element status
how nutrition influences growth and development throughout the life cycle
-Toddlers (1 to 3 years) and preschoolers (3-6 years) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅-Toddlers (1 to 3 years)
and preschoolers (3-6 years): can feed themselves, verbalize foods liked and disliked, need increased
protein from sources other than milk, calcium and phosphorous are important for bone health.
how nutrition influences growth and development throughout the life cycle
Newborn and infants (birth to 1 year) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅-Newborns and infants (birth to 1 year):
high energy requirements, breast milk or formula, solid food starting at 4-6 months, no cow's milk or
honey for the first year
how nutrition influences growth and development throughout the life cycle
-Young adults (20-35) & middle aged (35-65) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅-Young adults (20-35) & middle
aged (35-65) marked by a decline in the BMR with each decade and fewer calori
es are required, calcium and iron are essential minerals for women, good oral health is important
how nutrition influences growth and development throughout the life cycle
, -Older adults (65+) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅-Older adults (65+) slower metabolic rate requires fewer
calories, thirst sensation diminish, many older adults require carbohydrates that provide fiber and bulk
to enhance GI function
Lab values that would indicate malnutrition - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Hemoglobin, hematocrit,
prealbumin, transferrin, BUN, serum creatinine.
Hemoglobin - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅12-18 g/dL:
decreased = anemia
Hematocrit - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅46-52%:
decreased = anemia
Prealbumin - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅19-38 mg/dL:
decreased = protein depletion, malnutrition
Transferrin - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅250-425 mg/dL:
decreased = anemia, protein deficiency or loss from burns or malnutrition
BUN - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅6-20 mg/dL:
increased = starvation, high protein intake, severe dehydration;
decreased = malnutrition, low protein diet, overhydration
Serum creatinine - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅0.6-1.2 mg/dL:
increased = dehydration;
decreased = reduction in total muscle mass, severe malnutrition
which test results would indicate if a patient was at risk for cardiac disease - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅cholesterol & Dyslipidemia
