HTN, menstrual irregularities, infertility, gestational diabetes, huperlipidemia,
sudden cardiac death, a fib, HTN, CAD, DVT, right sided HF, NASH, gallstones,
GERD, kidney cancer, CKD, esophagus, pancreas, thyroid, colorectal and
gallbladder cancer, breast and ovarian cancer
Nutritional therapy for obesity - ...(ANSWERS)....Restricting dietary intake so that
it is below energy requirements- includes all food groups
Criteria guidelines for bariatric surgery - ...(ANSWERS)....BMI of 40 or more or a
BMI of 35 or more with other significant co-morbidities (HTN, T2DM, HF, sleep
apnea)
Disadvantages of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass - ...(ANSWERS)....Leak at site of
anastomosis, anemia, calcium deficiency, dumping syndrome, irreversible
Dumping syndrome - ...(ANSWERS)....Gastric contents empty too rabidly into the
small intestine, overwhelming its ability to digest nutrients. Symptoms include
n/v, weakness, sweating, faintness and sometimes diarrhea. Pt is instructed to
avoid sugary foods after surgery
Anastomosis leak - ...(ANSWERS)....tachycardia, fever, tachypnea, chest and
abdominal pain
,Post operative care for bariatric surgery - ...(ANSWERS)....assess for
cardiopulmonary complications, thrombus formation, anastomosis leaks and
electrolyte imbalances, maintain the head of the bed at a minimum of a 45
degree angle to reduce abdominal pressure and increase lung expansion, pts
should not consume fluids with meals
Metabolic syndrome definiton - ...(ANSWERS)....is a group of metabolic risk
factors that increase a person's change of developing CVD, stroke, diabetes. It is a
cluster of heath problems, including obesity, HTN, abnormal lipid levels, and high
blood glucose
The main underlying risk factor for metabolic syndrome - ...(ANSWERS)....Insulin

drug treatment for high cholesterol, BP- >130 sys >85 diastolic or on drug
treatment for HTN, fasting blood glucose >100 or on drug treatment for elevated
blood glucose
Signs and symptoms of metabolic syndrome - ...(ANSWERS)....Impaired fasting
blood glucose, HTN, abnormal cholesterol levels and obesity
counterregulatory hormones- increase blood glucose levels -
...(ANSWERS)....glucagon, epinephrine, GH, cortisol
, C peptide in serum and urine - ...(ANSWERS)....useful clinical indicator of
pancreatic b cell function and insulin levels
Signs and symptoms of type 1 diabetes - ...(ANSWERS)....polyuria, polydipsia,
polyphagia, weight loss may occur, weakness and fatigue

glucose level of 126 or greater, a 2 hour plasma glucose level of 200 or greater
during an OGTT using a glucose load of 75g, in a pt with classic symptoms of
hyperglycemia (polyuria, polydipsia, unexplained weight loss) or hyperglycemic
crisis, a random blood glucose level of 200 or more
A1C (glycosylated hemoglobin) - ...(ANSWERS)....provides a measurement of
blood glucose levels over the previous 2 to 3 months
Diseases affecting RBCs (anemia) can influence the AIC
Goal A1C for pts with diabetes - ...(ANSWERS)....less than 7.0
Fructosamine - ...(ANSWERS)....Is another way to assess glucose levels,, reflects
glycemia in the previous 1 to 3 weeks
