total parenteral nutrition ( no bag available what should nurse do?)
:administer dextrose 10% in water TPN provides a nutritionally complete solution. It can be used when caloric needs are very high, when the anticipated duration of therapy is greater than 7 days, or when the solution to be administered is hypertonic (composed of greater than 10% dextrose). It can only be administered in a central vein. TPN is commonly used in clients undergoing treatment for cancer, bowel disorders, and those suffering from trauma or extensive burns, as these conditions are associated with high caloric requirements. Monitor for "cracking" of TPN solution. This occurs if the calcium or phosphorous content is high or if poor-salt albumin is added. A "cracked" TPN solution has an oily appearance or a layer of fat on top of the solution and should not be used.
iron deficiency anemia (prescribed oral supplement which fluid should nurse administer along?
:orange juice ■■ Manifestations ☐☐ Fatigue ☐☐ Lethargy ☐☐ Pallor of nail beds ☐☐ Intolerance to cold ■■ Children with low iron intake can experience short attention spans and display poor intellectual performance before anemia begins. Iron deficiency anemia can result from poor intestinal absorption, blood loss, and inadequate consumption. ■■ Sources of iron ☐☐ Meat ☐☐ Fish ☐☐ Poultry ☐☐ Tofu ☐☐ Dried peas and beans ☐☐ Whole grains ☐☐ Dried fruit ■■ Iron-fortified foods ☐☐ Infant formula (acceptable alternative or supplement to breastfeeding) ☐☐ Infant cereal (usually the first food introduced to infants) ☐☐ Ready-to-eat cereals ■■ Vitamin C facilitates the absorption of iron (promote consumption). ■■ Caution: Medicinal iron overdose is the leading cause of accidental poisoning in small children and can lead to acute iron toxicity.
monoamine oxidase inhibitor
A group of anti-depressant drugs that inhibit the enzyme Monoamine Oxidase in the brain and raise the levels of neurotransmitters such as--Norepinephrine, Dopamine, and Serotonin., A type of antidepressant medication that requires strict adherence to a diet free of tyramine, Antidepressant, side effects dry mouth, seizures, hypertensive crisis, insomnia, drowsiness
age related macular degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a deterioration or breakdown of the eye's macula. The macula is a small area in the retina — the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. The macula is the part of the retina that is responsible for your central vision, allowing you to see fine details clearly Lutein and zeaxanthin are macular pigments that may play a role in reducing the development and progression of age-related macular degeneration. Evidence is accumulating on the consumption of lutein and zeaxanthin (in whole food or supplemental form), the resulting concentrations in the serum, and tissue distribution throughout the body, particularly in the retina. Lutein and zeaxanthin intake increases serum concentrations which in turn increases macular pigment density
colostomy
An ostomy is a surgically created opening on the surface of the abdomen from either the end of the small intestine (ileostomy) or from the colon (colostomy). ◯◯ Fluid and electrolyte maintenance is the primary concern for clients who have ileostomies and colostomies. ◯◯ The colon absorbs large amounts of fluid, sodium, and potassium. ◯◯ Nutrition therapy begins with liquids only and is slowly advanced based upon client tolerance. ◯◯ Nursing Interventions ■■ Advise the client to consume a diet that is high in fluids and soluble fiber. ■■ Encourage the client to avoid foods that cause gas (beans, eggs, carbonated beverages), stomal blockage (nuts, raw carrots, popcorn), and foods that produce odor (eggs, fish, garlic). ■■ Encourage the client to increase his intake of calories and protein to promote healing of the stoma site. ■■ Provide emotional support to clients due to their altered body image.

lactose intolerance
Client Education ●● Lactose intolerance is due to an inadequate level of lactase. The enzyme that converts lactose into glucose and galactose is absent or insufficient. ●● Clinical Manifestations ◯◯ Abdominal distension ◯◯ Cramps ◯◯ Flatus ◯◯ Diarrhea ●● Foods to limit or avoid: milk, cheese, ice cream, cream soups, puddings, chocolate. Nuts and beans are significant sources of protein. These are good alternatives for a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance. Either soy-based (ProSobee or Isomil) or casein hydrolysate (Nutramigen or Pregestimil) formulas can be prescribed as alternative formulas for infants who are lactose intolerant.
end stage kidney disease
End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) or CKD manifestations include fatigue, decreased alertness, anemia, decreased urination, headache, and weight loss. ESKD or CKD occurs when the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is less than 29 mL/min, the serum creatinine level steadily rises, or dialysis or transplantation is necessary. ◯◯ Therapeutic Nutrition ■■ The goal of nutritional therapy is to maintain appropriate fluid status, blood pressure, and blood chemistries. ☐☐ A high-protein, low-phosphorus, low-potassium, low-sodium (2 to 4 g/day), fluid-restricted diet is recommended. ☐☐ Once dialysis begins, protein intake will be increased because some protein is lost during dialysis. The amount of protein increase will depend on whether hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis is being performed. ☐☐ Vitamin D and calcium are nutrients of concern. ■■ Potassium intake is dependent upon the client's laboratory findings, which should be closely monitored. ■■ Sodium and fluid allowances are determined by blood pressure, weight, serum electrolyte findings, and urine output. ■■ Achieving a well-balanced diet based on the above guidelines is difficult. The National Renal Diet provides clients with a list of appropriate food choices. ■■ Protein needs increase once dialysis has begun as protein and amino acids are lost in the dialysate. ☐☐ Fifty percent of protein intake should come from biologic sources (eggs, milk, meat, fish, poultry, soy). ☐☐ Adequate calories (35 kcal/kg of body weight) should be consumed to maintain body protein stores. ■■ Phosphorus must be restricted. ☐☐ A high protein requirement leads to an increase in phosphorus intake. ☐☐ Foods high in phosphorus are milk products, beef liver, chocolate, nuts, and legumes. ☐☐ Phosphate binders (e.g., calcium carbonate, calcium acetate) must be taken with all meals and snacks. ■■ Vitamin D deficiency occurs as the kidneys are unable to convert vitamin D to its active form. ☐☐ This alters the metabolism of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, leading to hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, and hypermagnesemia. ☐☐ Calcium supplements will likely be required because foods high in phosphorus (which are restricted) are also high in calcium.
what is a normal lab value for a person with type 2 diabetes
HbA1c of 6.5% abnormal: serum creatine 1.5 mg/dL BUN of 25 mg/dL pre-meal blood glucose of 145 mg/dL If you had a fasting blood glucose test: •A level of 100-125mg/dL means you have impaired fasting glucose, a type of prediabetes. This increases your risk for type 2 diabetes. •A level of 126 mg/dL and higher most often means you have diabetes
nurse is teaching about healthy diet to control hypertension, client understands by saying

breastfeeding facts
Iron-fortified foods ☐☐ Infant formula (acceptable alternative or supplement to breastfeeding) If the client is breastfeeding during the postpartum period, an additional daily intake of 330 calories is recommended during the first 6 months, and an additional daily intake of 400 calories is recommended during the second 6 months. Breast milk, infant formula, or a combination of the two is the sole source of nutrition for the first 4 to 6 months of life. Currently, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life, followed by breastfeeding with the introduction of complementary foods until at least 12 months of age, then continuation of breastfeeding for as long as the mother and infant desire. The newborn is offered the breast immediately after birth and frequently thereafter. There should be eight to 12 feedings in a 24-hr period. The newborn should nurse up to 15 to 20 min per breast. However, avoid educating clients regarding an expected duration of feedings. Clients should be educated on how to evaluate when the newborn has completed the feeding by noting the slowing of newborn suckling, a softened breast, or sleeping.
celiac disease
It is a chronic, inherited, genetic disorder with autoimmune characteristics. Clients who have celiac disease are unable to digest the protein gluten. They lack the digestive enzyme DPP-IV, which is required to break down the gluten into molecules small enough to be used by the body. In celiac disease, gluten is broken down into peptide strands instead molecules. The body is not able to metabolize the peptides. If untreated, the client will suffer destruction of the villa and the walls of the small intestine. Celiac disease may go undiagnosed in both children and adults. ◯◯ Clinical manifestations vary widely. Children who have celiac disease have diarrhea, steatorrhea, anemia, abdominal distention, impaired growth, lack of appetite, and fatigue. Typical manifestations in adults include diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, anemia, steatorrhea, and osteomalacia.

osteoporosis
Osteoporosis has many modifiable risk factors (calcium and vitamin D intake, inactive lifestyle, cigarette smoking, alcohol intake). Altering these risk factors can affect nutritional status in a positive manner. risk factors for osteoporosis: family history, smoking, inactivity not risk factors: obesity, and hyperlipidemia Weight-bearing physical activity is essential to decrease the risk of osteoporosis. Inadequate calcium intake may predispose the adolescent to osteoporosis later in life. ◯◯ During adolescence, 45% of bone mass is added. ◯◯ Normal blood-calcium levels are maintained by drawing calcium from the bones if calcium intake is low. ◯◯ Adolescents require at least 1,300 mg of calcium a day, which may be achieved by three to four servings from the dairy food group. Aging adults are at an increased risk for developing osteoporosis (decreasing total bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue). Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake with regular weight-bearing exercise is important for maximizing bone density.
chronic kidney disease
Pre-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) is distinguished by an increase in serum creatinine. Manifestations include fatigue, back pain, and appetite changes. A nurse is planning care for a client who has chronic kidney disease. Which of the following should the nurse include in the plan of care? A. Monitor daily weights. B. Encourage compliance with fluid restrictions. C. Evaluate intake and output. D. Instruct on restricting calories from carbohydrates. E. Monitor for constipation. A. CORRECT: Monitoring daily weight assists in determining fluid retention. B. CORRECT: Implementing fluid restrictions helps to slow fluid retention. C. CORRECT: Evaluating I&O helps to determine if there is an increase in fluid retention. D. INCORRECT: Protein is restricted for a client who has chronic kidney disease. E. CORRECT: Constipation often occurs as a result of fluid restrictions.
coronary heart disease
Preventative Nutrition ■■ Consuming a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet can reduce the risk of developing CHD. The Therapeutic Lifestyle Change (TLC) diet is designed to be a user-friendly eating guide to encourage dietary changes. ■■ Daily cholesterol intake should be less than 200 mg. ■■ Conservative use of red wine may reduce the risk of developing CHD. ■■ Increasing fiber and carbohydrate intake, avoiding saturated fat, and decreasing red meat consumption can decrease the risk for developing CHD. ■■ Increased intake of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, flaxseed, soy beans, canola, and walnuts reduces the risk of coronary artery disease. ■■ Homocysteine is an amino acid. Elevated homocysteine levels can increase the risk of developing CHD. Deficiencies in folate and vitamins B6 and B12 increase homocysteine levels. ◯◯ Therapeutic Nutrition ■■ Secondary prevention efforts for CHD are focused on lifestyle changes that lower LDL. These include a diet low in cholesterol and saturated fats, a diet high in fiber, exercise and weight management, and smoking cessation. ■■ Daily cholesterol intake should be less than 200 mg/day. Saturated fat should be limited to less than 7% of daily caloric intake. ■■ To lower cholesterol and saturated fats, instruct the client to: ☐☐ Trim visible fat from meats. ☐☐ Limit red meats and choose lean meats (turkey, chicken). ☐☐ Remove the skin from meats. ☐☐ Broil, bake, grill, or steam foods. Avoid frying foods. ☐☐ Use low-fat or nonfat milk, cheese, and yogurt. ☐☐ Use spices in place of butter or salt to season foods. ☐☐ Avoid trans fat as it increases LDL. Partially hydrogenated products contain trans fat. ☐☐ Read labels. ■■ Encourage the client to consume a high-fiber diet. Soluble fiber lowers LDL. ☐☐ Oats, beans, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, barley, and flaxseed are good sources of fiber. ■■ Encourage the client to exercise. ☐☐ Instruct the client regarding practical methods for increasing physical activity. (Encourage the client to take the stairs rather than the elevator.) ☐☐ Provide the client with references for local exercise facilities. ■■ Instruct the client to stop all use of tobacco products. ■■ The recommended lifestyle changes represent a significant change for many clients. ☐☐ Provide support to the client and family. ☐☐ Encourage the client's family to participate in the changes to ease the transition for the client. CHAPTER 12 Cardiovascular and Hematologic Disorders 110 Nutrition for Nursing ☐☐ Explain why the diet is important. ☐☐ Aid the client in developing a diet that is complementary to personal food preferences and lifestyle. A food diary may be helpful. ☐☐ Instruct the client that occasional deviations from the diet are reasonable.

somogyi phenomenon
is fasting hyperglycemia that occurs in morning in response to hypoglycemia during the night time. the nurse assesses for this phenomenon by monitoring blood glucose levels during the night. Usually occurs during the night, but manifests as an elevated glucose in the morning and may be inadvertently treated with an increase in insulin dosage. Check blood glucose around 3:00 a.m. Adjusting insulin to avoid peaking during the night will correct this effect.
enteral feeding
is used when a client cannot consume adequate nutrients and calories orally, but maintains a partially functional gastrointestinal system. ●● EN is administered when a client has a medical condition (burns, trauma, radiation therapy or chemotherapy, liver or renal dysfunction, infection and inflammatory bowel disease) that hinders the client's nutritional status.

when performing enteral tube feeding what nursing intervention must be performed in order to prevent aspiration
monitor gastric residual every 4hr Monitor clients receiving enteral tube feedings and report clinical manifestations of dumping syndrome to the provider. View Video: Enteral Tube Feeding ◯◯ Verify the presence of bowel sounds. ◯◯ To maintain feeding tube patency, it is flushed routinely with warm water. ■■ Gastric residuals should be checked every 4 to 6 hr. If the residual volume exceeds the amount of formula given in the previous 2 hr, it may be necessary to consider reducing the rate of the feeding. Residuals should be returned to the stomach as they contain electrolytes, nutrients, and digestive enzymes. Follow facility policy. ☐☐ For an infant - Subtract the amount of the residual from the amount of the formula to be given. Return the residual to the stomach plus the reduced amount of formula or breast milk. ☐☐ For children - If the residual is more than one fourth of the previous feeding, return the residual to the stomach and recheck in 30 to 60 min. ☐☐ Notify the provider if a large amount of residual continues to occur. ◯◯ The head of the bed should be elevated at least 30º during feedings and for at least 30 to 60 min afterward to lessen the risk of aspiration. ◯◯ Bubble the infant following the feeding if the infant's condition allows. ◯◯ Begin with a small volume of full-strength formula. Increase volume in intervals as tolerated until the desired volume is achieved. ◯◯ Administer the feeding solution at room temperature to decrease gastrointestinal discomfort. ◯◯ Do not heat formulas in a microwave as this can result in uneven temperatures within the solution.
