BODY WEIGHT/BODY MASS Ideal body weight Body mass index Percent body fat
3
FACTORS AFFECTING NUTRITION Development Gender Ethnicity & culture Beliefs about food Personal preferences Religious practices Lifestyle Medications & therapy – table 45-1
4
FACTORS AFFECTING NUTRITION Health Alcohol abuse Advertising Psychologic factors
5
NUTRITION THRU THE LIFE CYCLE – Young & Middle Adult Lay foundation for lifetime nutrition pattern in
young adulthood Nutrient requirements change very little Females need to maintain/increase intake of Vit.
C , Vit D, & calcium; & maintain intake of iron Basal metabolism decreases 2-3%/decade after
age 25 Obesity, HTN , & DM may begin to form
6
NUTRITION THRU THE LIFE CYCLE – Older Adults Physiologic, psychosocial, economic
changes Need fewer calories Nutrient requirements basically the same Variety & nutrient dense foods; water See Kosier & Erb table 45-2

Starches: corn, rice Fruits: berries Veggies: rhubarb, mushrooms, roots Meats: game, seafood, nuts Milk: little used
High incidence of lactose intolerance Encourage broiled, poached, steamed meats

HEALTHY PEOPLE 2010 http://www.health.gov/healthypeople Goals:
Increase in span of healthy life for Americans Reduction of health disparities among Americans
Target areas: Wt control issues; dietary intake issues; school
nutrition issues;anemia in pregnancy; nutrition education, assessment, planning issues
16
DIETARY GUIDELINES FOR AMERICANS Eat a variety of foods Maintain or improve your weight Be physically active every day Eat diet low in trans fat, saturated fat, &
cholesterol Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, & grains Use sugars in moderation Use salt & sodium in moderation If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation

ALTERED NUTRITION Malnutrition – lack of necessary or
appropriate food substances Overnutrition – caloric intake in excess of
daily energy requirements Overweight – BMI 26-30 Obese – BMI > 30 Morbid obesity – interferes with mobility or
breathing
19
ALTERED NUTRITION Malnutrition
Undernutrition – intake of nutrients insufficient to meet daily energy requirements as a result of inadequate food intake or improper digestion & absorption of food Dysphagia – difficulty swallowing Anorexia – loss of appetite Protein-calorie malnutrition
20
ASSESSMENT Usual eating patterns & habits 24 hour food recall Allergies & intolerances Food frequency record Brief personal & family history Height/weight Ideal body weight Body mass index Manifestations of malnutrition (table 45-4) Social, economic, ethnic, religious factors Other risk factors for altered nutrition
21
RISK FACTORS FOR NUTRITIONAL PROBLEMS Diet history
Chewing or swallowing difficulties Inadequate food intake Restricted or fad diets No intake for 10 or more days IVF Inadequate food budget Inadequate food preparation facilities Physical disabilities Living & eating alone
22
RISK FACTORS FOR NUTRITIONAL PROBLEMS Medical history
Unintentional wt loss or gain of 10% within 6 months F/E imbalance Oral or GI surgery Dental problems GI problems Chronic illness Alcohol or substance abuse Neurologic or cognitive impairment Catabolic or hypermetabolic condition Adolescent pregnancy or closely spaced pregnancy
23
RISK FACTORS FOR NUTRITIONAL PROBLEMS Medication history
Aspirin Antacid Antidepressants Antihypertensives Anti-inflammatory agents Antineoplastic agents Digitalis Laxatives Diuretics Potassium chloride
24
PHYSICAL EXAM General appearance & vitality Weight Skin Nails Hair Eyes Lips, tongue, gums, teeth Heart Abdomen Musculoskeletal Neurologic
25
ANTHROPOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS Height & weight Skinfold measurements – tricep most
common site
26
LABORATORY DATA Albumin & pre-albumin Transferrin Hgb BUN 24 hour urine Total lymphocyte count
27
DIAGNOSING Altered nutrition: more than body requirements Altered nutrition: less than body requirements Altered nutrition: risk for more than body
requirements Fluid volume excess, fluid volume deficit, & risk
for fluid volume deficit Activity intolerance Constipation Risk for Impaired Skin Integrity
28
PLANNING Client will:
Maintain I&O balance Consume proper amounts of foods from
variety of food groups Comply with diet therapy Tolerate tube feedings Not have any complications assoc with
malnutrition
29
IMPLEMENTING - Teaching Use established nutritional standards Use visualization of serving sizes to help
ID accurate serving sizes Incorporate culturally based intake patterns
or restrictions Include client & family Collaborate with dietician
30
IMPLEMENTINGSpecial Diets Vegetarian
Vegan Ovo-vegetarian Lacto-vegetarian Lacto-ovo-vegetarian
31
IMPLEMENTINGSpecial Diets NPO – nothing by mouth Clear liquid diet – water, tea, coffee, clear broths,
gingerale, plain gelatin Full liquid diet – clears; milk; cooked cereals,
pudding, ice cream, cream soup; Soft diet – easily chewed & digested Dysphagia – thickened liquids Diet as tolerated
32
IMPLEMENTINGStimulating Appetite Relieve illness symptoms that depress appetite prior to
mealtime Provide familiar food that person likes served at
proper temp. Select small portions Avoid unpleasant or uncomfortable treatments or
activity immediately before/after meals Provide tidy, clean environment Encourage or provide oral hygiene before mealtime Reduce psychologic stress
33
IMPLEMENTINGAssisting with Meals Help client feed self when possible Assist client to sit on side of bed or chair if possible Check tray for client’s name, type of diet, & completeness “which order would you like to eat?” Spread napkin, cut foods, shell egg, etc. Do not rush client; allow ample time Offer fluids every 3 or 4 mouthfuls of food if client unable
to communicate Use adaptive feeding aids as needed For blind person, identify placement of food as you would
describe time on a clock
34
IMPLEMENTINGSpecial Supplements Oral
Provide calories & nutrients Can be liquid or powdered Specific types
Tube Feeds When condition prevents food intake Impairment in upper GI tract, otherwise fx GI tract Increased metabolic needs that oral intake can’t meet
Parenteral Nutrition IV nutrients (TPN, PPN)
35
IMPLEMENTINGSpecial Supplements TPN
Nonfunctional GI tract Severely malnourished needing specific
supplements PPN
Nonfunctional GI tract Moderate nutritional deficiencies
36
IMPLEMENTINGEnteral Nutrition Enteral access devices
NGT (short term) Small-bore feeding tube PEG (long term)
Parenteral IV
TPN - central line PPN – peripheral IV
37
IMPLEMENTINGNasogastric Feeding Types of NGT
Levin, salem sump, corpak Verify tube placement
Gastric secretions pH Air bolus Xray S/S of distress
38
IMPLEMENTINGEnteral Feedings
May be continuous , intermittent, or bolus Before feeding
Determine allergies, assess MD order Prepare client & inspect/verify formula Assess tube placement Assess residual (q 4h) Flush with water
Administer at room temperature Feeding must infuse within 8 hours Never add fresh to formula hanging Tubing & container change q 24h Check residual q4h
39
EVALUATINGEnteral Feeds Daily wt I & O Labs Monitor for complications
40
IMPLEMENTINGParenteral Nutrition
Continuous or intermittent Refrigerate solution unless using immediately Read label & double check against order for all
ingredients; double check with another nurse Monitor IV site – dedicated line New bag, tubing, filter q 24 hours Aseptic technique Monitor glucose levels & other labs Must wean off
41
EVALUATINGParenteral Nutrition VS I & O Daily wt Daily/weekly labs Monitor for complications
42
IMPLEMENTINGSpecial Community Services Meals-on-Wheels Grocery delivery services Food stamp program
43
IMPLEMENTINGHome Care Teaching Preparation of formula Proper storage of formula Administration of feeding Mgmt of enteral or parenteral access device Daily monitoring needs S/S of complications to report Who to contact with questions/problems
44
EVALUATING If outcomes not achieved,
Was cause of problem correctly identified? Was family included in teaching plan? Are they
supportive? Is client experiencing symptoms that cause loss of
appetite? Were outcomes unrealistic for this person? Were client’s food preferences considered? Is anything interfering with digestion or absorption
of nutrients?
