Paracentesis
A paracentesis is performed by inserting a needle or trocar through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity. The goal is relief of abdominal ascites pressure Indications for needing: abnormal circulation of protein rich fluid in the abd. cavity cause by cirrhosis of the liver respiratory dirstress or compromised lung expansion
Fat Soluble Vitamins, requires bile for absorption in the small intestine. Absorbed with the lymphatic system with fats
A, D, E, K
Fiber
All the health benefits of fiber improve the physical functioning of the human body. The benefits are not directly nutritional but instead allow the body to function at a more efficient level. consists of substances in plant foods that, for the most part, cannot be digested by humans. We do not produce digestive juices strong enough to break down the bonds that hold the simple carbohydrates of most plant fibers, so fiber "passes through" our bodies without providing kcal or nutrients. Its texture provides bulk and eases the work of the GI muscles that regulate movement of the food mass

Vitamins function
Blood Health Bone Health Fluid and Electrolyte Balance Organic substances essential for normal metabolism. Both vitamins and minerals are micronutrients. Present in small amounts in food. Unable to synthesize in needed amounts, they must be provided by the diet. Except Vitamin K, it is synthesized in the intestine, and vitamin D when sunlight exposure is adequate. Fresh foods are the highest in vitamins. Vitamins have antioxidant benefits. Used in cellular activities such as growth and repair. Used as coenzymes in metabolism.
Water Soluble Vitamins, passively and actively absorbed by the small intestine
C and B
Carbohydrates (CHO)
CHO we consume are primarily form plant sources. Energy is the only real nutrient function of CHO When adequate amounts of CHO ae available, both Cho and small amounts of fats are used for energy. Grains: Cereals, breads, crackers, rice, or pasta, at least half as whole grains (see following chart) Vegetables: Fiber-rich vegetables, starchy vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, peas; legumes or dry beans such as kidney beans, chickpeas, and black-eyed peas Fruits: Fiber-rich fruits, most fruits especially bananas, grapes, pears, apples Milk: Fat-free or low fat milk, yogurt, and other milk products containing lactose (does not include most cheeses) Meats and beans: Replace animal sources with servings of legumes or dry beans

Like the B vitamins folic acid is required for DNA synthesis and normal maturation of RBC's. Inadequate intake more common among people who are chronically undernourished such as: alcoholism drug addiction older adults Times of growth and development require higher levels of folic acid, such as: pregnancy infants and teenagers during times of growth
Bariatric Surgeries

Lab test for anemia
MCV (size of red bood cells) MCH (the amount of hgb per red blood cell) MCHC (amount of hgb relative to sie of cell)
Protein
Our overall physical health and well-being depend on our eating enough essential amino acids for body protein synthesis. Proteins are organic compounds formed by the linking of many smaller molecules of amino acids, amino acids contain nitrogen, which distinguish protein from other nutrients. Functions Growth and maintenance needed to make the proteins required to support muscle, tissue, bone formation, and the cells themselves Creation of communicators and catalysts vital substances produced by our bodies are formed of protein Ex. Insulin Immune system response Fluid and electrolyte regulation Acid-base balance Transportation
Diseases/ Occurrences Causing Dysphagia
Parkinson's disease Multiple Sclerosis Dementia Stroke Trauma
Vitamin E
Protects fatty acids and promotes formation of functioning RBC, muscle and other tissue
Macronutrients
Protein Carbohydrate Fatty acids
Interventions to Prevent Aspiration during Feedings
Provide rest before feedings Sit the person at 90-degrees for oral intake (including PO meds) Most important Avoid rushed feeding, adjust rate of feeding and size of bites to the individual Alternate solids and liquids Place food on non-impaired side of the mouth Have suction equipment ready at all times Avoid sedatives and hypnotics that may impair the cough reflex and swallowing.
Treatment for iron-deficiency anemia
Severe iron-deficiency anemia may require a blood transfusion, iron injections, or intravenous (IV) iron therapy. Treatment may need to be done in a hospital
Ostomies
Sugrical opening from the inside of the body to the outside. Can be permanent or temp. A stma is the artificalopening creasted during ostomy surgery. Most common: Illestomy (perforemed when the entire colon must be removed due to disease. ; opening of ileum to drain stool, colostomy; opeing inlarge intestine to drain stool
Water
The Adequate Intake (AI) recommendations for water are about 13 cups a day for men and 9 cups a day for women. This amount is in addition to fluids from foods consumed throughout the day, such as fruits and vegetables. Although the minimum amount needed by healthy adults may be about 4 cups, higher amounts are optimum considering an individual's physiologic status and energy output. We can live several weeks without food but can survive only a few days without water or fluids. Although our bodies use stored nutrients to fuel energy needs, a minimum intake of water is required for cell function and as a solution through which waste products of the body are excreted in urine.
The best source of iron
The body tends to absorb iron from meat better than iron from nonmeat foods red meat, especially beef and liver. Chicken, turkey, pork, fish, and shellfish also are good sources of iron. Peas; lentils; white, red, and baked beans; soybeans; and chickpeas Tofu Dried fruits, such as prunes, raisins, and apricots Spinach and other dark green leafy vegetables Prune juice

Minerals
prime sources of minerals include both plant and animal foods. Valuable sources of plant foods include most fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. Animal sources consist of beef, chicken, eggs, fish, and milk products.
Fats
refers to the chemical group called lipids. Lipids are divided into three classifications: fats (or triglycerides), and the fat-related substances of phospholipids and sterols. Approximately 95% of the lipids in foods and in our bodies are in the triglyceride form of fat. The other two lipid classifications are the fat-related substances of phospholipids and sterols. Lecithin is the best-known phospholipid Cholesterol is the best-known sterol Function Source of Energy Palatability Fat makes food smell and taste good Satiety and Satiation helps prevent hunger between meals Food Processing Nutrient Source Stored Energy Organ Protection Insulation
Genetic influences
related to obesity include the hormones leptin and ghrelin. Leptin, produced by adipocytes, has a role in the complex system of the regulation of body weight and fat regulation. Leptin inhibits food intake and regulates long-term appetite. The size of adipose stores is regulated through messages transmitted by leptin between the brain and leptin receptors. Mutations in functions of leptin and leptin receptors may have a role in the development of obesity
objective data of anemia
shortness of breath, tachycardia, and palpations dizziness, nail bed deformities (spoon shaped nails), smooth sore bright red tongue
Vitamin D
stimulation of calcium and phosphorus, deficiency causes rickets Fatty fish, salmon, mackerel, sardines, tuna Egg Beef liver Mushrooms (the only vegan source of vitamin D)
