sources of data in a nursing assessment: conducting a physical exam, reviewing results of lab or diagnostic tests, collecting nursing health history
identify four methods of data collection to establish a database: interview, physical exam, diagnostic and lab test results, history
why is it important to explore the patient's lifestyle patterns? determine risk factors, opportunity to educate
data validation comparing assessed data with another source to establish accuracy is the process of
data clustering grouping related data to form a picture of the client's health needs
normal nutrition process in which body uses food for energy, growth, maintenance, and repair
BMR -energy required for maintaining life sustaining functions -affected by fever, activity, age, infection, gender, body mass, starvation
carbohydrates -primary source of energy -4 kcal per gram -complex=polysaccharides -chief protein sparing nutrient -47% daily caloric needs -grains, potatoes, legumes -starches and sugars
monosaccharides glucose, fructose
disaccharides sucrose, maltose, lactose, glucose, fructose
fats -major source of energy -carriers of essential fat-soluble vitamins -9 kcal per gram -source of insulation -no more than 30% daily calories -slow digestion; makes you full
proteins -complex nitrogenous organic compounds consisting of amino acids -essential proteins contain all essential amino acids -body can synthesize nonessential proteins -4 kcal per gram -15-20% total calories
protein function -tissue growth, repair and maintenance, body regulatory functions, and energy production -blood clotting, fluid regulation, acid/base balance
vitamins -organic compounds required in small amounts for normal metabolism -function primarily in enzyme reactions -essential to metabolism
water-soluble vitamins: C and B-complex
fat-soluble vitamins: A, D, E, K -obtained through dietary intake (except D; found in sun)
minerals -necessary for building tissues -regulation of fluids -various body functions -4% of body weight -can be toxic in excess -catalysts for biochemical reactions
major minerals calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulfur
fiber -some products are not water-soluble and cannot be digested -prevents diarrhea
essential (complete) proteins -containing all essential amino acids -supports growth, maintains nitrogen balance -fish, chicken, beans, turkey
macro minerals/ trace elements when the daily requirement is 100 mg or more/ when the daily requirement is less than 100 mg
vegetarian -may have vitamin or protein deficiencies -lacto-ovo at risk for iron deficiency
vegan -may lack vitamin B12 -can develop megaloblastic anemia
dietary reference intakes acceptable range of amounts of vitamins and minerals to avoid deficiencies
infancy -rapid growth -high protein, vitamin, mineral, and energy requirements -full term can digest and absorb simple carbs, proteins, and fats (solids after 4 months) -exclusive breast feeding for 4 months; formula for 12 months
pregnant mothers need: folate, calcium, zinc, protein, iron, extra 300 calories each day
toddlers -may be picky eaters -fruits, vegetables, crackers, cereal -need many small meals/snacks -small pieces to avoid aspiration
teens -rapid period of growth -need education about healthy eating and exercise
elderly -less caloric requirements due to lower activity level -may have decreased appetite -may not cook for themselves
parenteral nutrition -for clients who cannot digest or absorb enteral nutrition -peripheral or through central line -intravenously
dysphagia difficulty swallowing
intake and output -intake in mL should equal output in mL -1 g of urine = 1 mL -in infants, weigh full diaper and subtract dry weight
imbalances -retention of fluid could mean renal failure
