Values in Nursing Honesty, compassion, empathy, respect
Development of Values ethics (professional, list of things right or wrong), morals (everyones own opinion of what is right or wrong), modeling (good role model), Moralizing (religious values), Lazifaire (loose values, children explore their own values, often leads to confusion
Values Essential to the professional Nurse Altruism- (concern for ALL others), Autonomy (Right for patient to make their own decisions), Interigty, Human Dignity (respect for all peoples values, beliefs), Social justice
Ethical Right or wrong, nursing code of ethics (organizations)
Morals similar to ethics, personal

2 situations a nurse can deny giving care conflicts /c deeply held religious believes (some ppl and abortion), or great potential for harm to nurse (nurse is immuno compromised)
Rehablitation act and ADA prohibit discrimination
Important points to concider compentent adults have the right to make decisions based on their religious beliefs; also, Jehovias Witnesses believe that if they receive blood products there is enternal concenquences
Nutrition Maslow Malsow is used in business
Maslow in Nursing looking for such things as under nutrition, giving Ensure as a suppliment, height, weight, diet, medicaiton that effect stomach, vit. are things that would go under the basic level.
BMR Male has higher BMR the women, Female has 0.9 cal/kilo
Increased BMR Fever, medication, stress, anxiety and infection
Decreased BMR Age, fasting, sleep
Calories 1 lbs body fat = 3500 calorie
To loose or gain 1 lbs per week you must adjust calories by 500 calories per day
Enteral feeding generaly equals 1 calorie/mL
Carbohydrates Sugars and starchs. It is the most abundent and least expensive source of calorie in the world.
Carbohydrates are converted to gluecose for transport through the blood
Sources of Carbohydrates plants and lactose. (Lactose is the only animal source.)
Protein are required
Fats Most concentrated. Come in saturated (raises cholesterol levels) and unstaurated
Vitamins Determine Calories needs
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) the amount of energy expended while at rest, while the digestive system is inactive, (which requires about twelve hours of fasting in humans).
The release of energy in BMR is sufficient only for the functioning of the vital organs, such as the heart, lungs, brain and the rest of the nervous system, liver, kidneys, sex organs, muscles and skin
Approximent estimated energy requrement for males (adult) 2200-3200
Vitamin A content in cooked spinach 943 mg per cup
Vitamin A content in cooked broccoli 153 mg per cup
US consumes ___?___ whole grains 13%
US consumes ___?___ refined grains 87%
Recommened whole grains, recommened refined grains 50% of each
Whole grain Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel -- the bran, germ, and endosperm. Examples include: whole-wheat flour, bulgur (cracked wheat), oatmeal, whole cornmeal, brown rice
Palm of hand = serving size
Components of nutrient assessment Hx taking- dietary, medical, socioeconomic data
Components of nutrient assessment Physical assessment clinical data, antropometric data
antropometric data is measure the absolute and relative variability in size and shape of the human body. Depending on the objective, anthropometric instrumentation may include weighing scale, anthropometer, skinfold calipers, body volume tanks, and bioelectrical impedance anal
Components of nutrient assessment Lab data protein status, body vitamins, mineral and trace element status
Food habits: physical geographic locations, food, technology, income
Food habits: food technology is good in america
Food habits: physiologic health, hunger, stage of development
Food habits: psychologic culture, religion, tradition, education, politics and social status
Developmental Concideration: growth Infancy, adolescence, pregnancy and lactation. Age related changes in metaboism and body compisition
Developmental Concideration: Nutrition needs level off in adulthood, fewer calories are needed in adulthood because of decrease in BMR
Risk factors for poor nutrition status development factors, state of health, alcohol abuse, medications, mega doses of nutrient supplements
Dietary Data 24 hour recall, food diary, diet history
Assessing diet Usual intake, Allergies and intolerances (lactose intolerance), food preparation and storage (can someone with arthritis open a jar?), disorders (anorexia), dietary pratices
Enteral Nutrition: short term nasogastric or nasointestinal
Enternal Nutrition: long term enterostomal tube (a opening in stomacg -PEG- or jejunium
Nursing conciderations with tube feedings promote patient safety, monitor patient for complications, provide comfort measures, provide instructions to go home with
Total Patenteral Nutritional (TPN) is the practice of feeding a person intravenously, bypassing the usual process of eating and digestion. The person receives nutritional formulas containing salts, glucose, amino acids, lipids and added vitamins.
Partial Patenteral Nutritional (PPN) solution, containing some essentail nutrients, is injected into a vein to supplement other means of nutrition, usually a partially normal diet of food.
Complications of parenteral nutrition Insertion problems, infection, metabolic alterations due to a vascular insertion, fluid, electrolyte and acid base imbalance
Nutrition based nursing interventions Screening pt. at home for nutritional risk, observing intake and appetite, evaluating the patients tolerence, assisting the patient with eating, administering enternal and parenteral feedings, consulting with the dietitian and physician, addressign potent
Levels of prevention: primary diet (teach/prevent)
Levels of prevention: Secondary tests/labs/screening
Levels of prevention: tertiary enteral feeding
Nutrition in nursing (nursing dx): As a problem- Altered Nutrition increased body requirements, decreased body requirements
Nutrition in nursing (nursing dx): As an Etiology- Constipation R/T inadequate Fuber, Self esteem disturbance R/T Obesity
Nutrition in nursing (nursing dx): As a sign and symptom- noncompliance r/t stated desire to change eating habit AEB eating donuts
Hospital Diets NPO (risk for impaired oral mucous membrane)-{give ice chips, hard candy, gum}. Clear liquid diet, full liquid, soft, vegitarian (may need supplements of B12, Vit. A, Iron.
Nursing Implications of Albumin- If Albumin is low... Peripheral edema may exist, skin integrity may be at risk,
Albumin may be low as a result of Cirrhosis of the liver (from medications such as PCN, ASA), or severe malnutrition and burns (loose protein through the skin)
Albumin maybe high as a result of dehydration, rx: Heparin, osmotic pressue
Over 1/2 of plasma protein is synthesized by the liver, which can result in edema
If protein is increased edema may go down
BUN adult level 5-25 mg/dl
BUN stands for Blood Urea Nitrogen
BUN is higher in Elderly
BUN is the end product of protein metabolism and is excreted by kidneys
BUN is (or can be) increased by dehydration, pre-renal failure, GI bleed, if protein level increases
If you can't excrete BUN through kidneys it goes in to blood
BUN is decreased by some medication (antipsyc), and malnutritionq
Creatinine in adult male 0.5-1.5 mg/dl, slightly lower in female r/t decreased muscle mass
CREATININE is used to dx renal function
Creatinine is the by-product of muscle catabolism
Creatinine and BUN is read together
Creatinine clearence is a 24 hr test to determine GFH
Decreased Creatinine is found with reduction in total muscle mass and malnutrition
Increased Creatinine is found with kidney problems, many Rx
Blood glucose test Finder stick, FBS, HGB A1C (if hemoglobin is low it will falsely change the other)
Hemoglobin Protein in RBC's, gives blood red color, carries oxygen,
Hemoglobin levels 12-15 is normal, 8 is bad, decreased in anemia, increased with fever
Hematocrit Volume of RBC's packed in 100 ml of blood, expressed as a percent
Hematocrit levels @ 40% is normal, 20% is low (over hydrated from IV), 60% is dehydrated
cytic = size
chromic = color
mean = avg.
normocytic MCV- normal size
normochromic MCHC- normal color
Microcytic decreased MCV- small
Hypochromic decreases MCHC- light
Macrocytic increased MCV- large
Hyperchromic increaed MCHC- dark (rare)
Iron Cells Microcytic (small), Hypochromic (pale)
Iron absorbtion requires acidic enviroment, best taken on an empty stomach (with juice)
Injections of Iron are given IM (parental)
When giving iron IM use 2 track because iron stains the skin
Iron is found in spinish, liver, red meat
Iron can cause constipation and green and black stool
Iron deficienty is cause from Chronic bleen, blood loss from surgery, dietary issues
RBC size 4-5 (x10 to the 6th power /ml)
For RBC values outside of the norm look at Hemoglobin and Hemacrit values and RBC indices
Signs and symptoms of RBC deficiencies are fatigue and dyspenia
hemoglobin A1C Glycosylated Hemoglobin is 120 days, Glucose to Hgb, 6-8% is normal
Level of prevention: Primary before you know the disease exists
LOP: Primary- Nursing intervention promote good diet
Level of Prevention- Secondary early detection, prompt intervention, health maintence
Level of Prevention- Tertiary decreased disability prevent complications, incrreased functions
WBC (# of leukocytes) Phagocytes
WBC increased infection, leukocytosis
WBC decreased Bone marrow, depression, leukopenia
Nursing Measures for WBC Increase host resistance fluids, nutrition, sleep, assess s&s of infection, Avoid germs,
HCT volume % of packed cell. Inversely amount of water
Increased HCT dehydration, polycythemia
Decreased HCT Anemia
HCT Nursing Measures Assess fluid status: S & S of dehydration and urine output
HGB Oxygen Carrying
Increased HGB Dehydration, Polycythemia
Decreased HGB Anemia
Nursing interventions Fatigue, Activity intolerance, High risk injury, high risk infection, Assess S&S
MCV mean corpuscular volume, cell size
Increase MCV Macrocytic
Normal MCV Normocytic
Decreased MCV Microcytic
Nursing Interventions MCV folic acid or B12 defucuency, iron deficiency anemia
MCHC mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration
MCHC is Average concentration of Hgb in a red blood cell or color of cell
Normal MCHC Normochromic
Increased MCHC Hyperchromic (rare)
Decreased MCHC Hypochromic
Nursing measures of MCHC Iron deficiency Anemia
B12 is needed for nerve function,
B12 can cause Paresthesias
Paresthesias is sensation of tingling, pricking, or numbness of a person's skin
B12 deficiency often occurs because the person cannot absorb B12 properly
Food with B12 include Animal proteins, eggs, dairy
Inability to absorb B12 can cause Pernicious anemia, Intrinisic factor, Shillings Test
B12 deficiency is often seen with GI surgery, stomach cancer, people with stomach issues
If some one has a B12 deficiency they will need Parental Injections
Shilling's test test to see if there is a B12 problem
Intrinsic factor ability to absorb B12
Folic Acid Cells Macrocytic (large), Normochromic (normal color),
Folic Acid deficency is similar to B12 but NO paresthesias
Folic acid comes from green leafy veggies and nuts
MCV would elevate with Macrocystic
These effect folic acid Chrones Disease, alcohol problem, some medications
In Maslow anemia could go in physiological
Fluids purpose Transportation, Metabolism, Solvents, Lubricant, Vascualar Volume, Temperature, Digestion, elimination
Fluid goes in and out of cells
Fluids assist in body temp
fluids promote digestion
fluid acts as a lubricant for tissue and joints
Hemacrit over 40% is high
Intracellular water percentage is 70%
Extracellular water percentage is 30%
Extracellular water is found in intravascular and interstitial
Water accounts for 50-60% of body weight
2/3rds of water is found in ICF
35-40% of body weight is in cell fluid
Plasma accounts for ? body weight 5%
Interstitial fluid accounts for ? body weight 10- 15%
Extral cellular fluid accounts for ? body weight 15-20%
Fluid Sources Injested liquids, water in food, metabolism
Sensible fluid loss perspriation, waterm fecesm urine, gastric flushing
Normal fluid loss through urine per HOUR 20 ml/ hour
Patients often on fluid restrictions CFH, decreased renal function
Hypothalmus tells us we're hungrey
Insensible Fluid loss perspiration, fever, respiration increased suctioned, drainage from wound, burn pt.
When respiration increased fluid loss increased
Measure urine concentration blue sheet/ More fluid, more particals, higher number specific gravity= more concentrated/ less hydrated
kidneys filter blood
Nephrons job is to filter (GFR)
Kidneys excrete 1-2/L urine production per day
An indicator of Renal disease is urine out put of less then 20/ml/hr
Increased ADH from pituitary gland = increased H2O retention= urine concentration
Secrete renin increased powerful vasoconstrictor
renin triggers aldosterone (adrenal cortex) to retain sodium and H2O
dialysis is done because the kidneys don't filter properly
Atrial Natruiretic paptide (ANP) is a hormone that promotes vasodilation
kindeys secrete renin
ANP suppresses renin levels
ANP increases GFR
ANP promotes vasodilation
