Nitrogen balance formula. what does negative nitrogen balance indicate, positive, and zero?

Based on the available data (protein intake and nitrogen output), nitrogen balance can be used to assess the nutritional status of the patient. The formula for nitrogen balance is (protein intake in grams / 6.25) - (urinary urea nitrogen + 4). For example, (80 g protein intake / 6.25) - (26 + 4) = -17.2 = negative nitrogen balance. A negative nitrogen balance indicates erosion of body proteins and is associated with burns, serious injuries, fevers, hyperthyroidism, wasting diseases, and malnourishment. A positive nitrogen balance indicates a net gain of body proteins and is associated with periods of growth (infant, teenager, pregnancy, healing). A zero nitrogen balance indicates protein maintenance and equilibrium, such as in a healthy adult.

If order writing by RDs is not excluded by law, then they can be obtained by the facility's medical staff granting the privilege, which includes a review of credentials and qualifications. Even if the RD writes the diet order, that does not mean the RD doesn't also have to communicate that with the patient's care team. Order writing privileges for dietitians can include things beyond the diet prescription, such as ordering labs or formulating TPN orders.

difference is palliative care, curative care, and hospice?

Hospice care focuses on caring for people who are estimated to be within 6 months or less of life expectancy. Its purpose is to make people as comfortable as possible at the end of their lives. Palliative care focuses on reducing symptoms and helping the patient deal with negative impacts the illness is having on their day-to-day life. While hospice care occurs at the end of the lifespan continuum, palliative care can be provided at any time and can occur at the same time as curative care. Curative care is the active medical care and treatment for a medical condition where a cure is considered achievable.
