nutritional therapy for diverticulitis
1. A high-fiber diet is recommended to reduce straining during defecation (increase fiber-rich foods by including fruits, vegetables, legumes whole grain breads, and cereals) 2. Stool softeners may be needed to avoid straining
nutritional therapy for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (Heartburn)
1. Avoid large or high-fat meals 2. Foods such as chocolate, alcohol, peppermint, spearmint, liqueurs, and caffeine, and high-acid foods (tomatoes, vinegar-based foods, citrus fruits, and juices) may irritate the esophagus and cause heartburn 3. Avoid overeating
nutritional therapy with peripheral artery disease
1. Include unsaturated fats like fish, nuts, and seeds and excludes saturated fats (red meat, butter, and whole milk) 2. Because sodium is another concern, cut back on intake of processed meats, fast food, and convenience foods like frozen dinners, canned soup, and processed cheese

Hot, fried, spicy, and strong-smelling foods should also be avoided 4. Some patients find relief with broth-based soups, warm tea with mint, and ginger ale or other carbonated beverages
Causes of vomiting
1. When an intruding virus or toxin has entered the GI tract, vomiting removes the offending substance. 2. An altered sense of equilibrium during air or sea travel can result in motion sickness with nausea and vomiting 3. During pregnancy, hormonal shifts often cause vomiting, especially during the first trimester. 4. Cancer treatment such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or use of medicines such as opioids may cause vomiting.

reasons a nurse would contact a Registered Dietician.
A registered dietician can conduct the nutrition care process, establish the nutrition diagnosis, provision of nutrition therapies, monitoring and evaluation of outcomes.
ascites
Accumulation of fluid in abdominal cavity, treated by dietary restriction of sodium and sometimes fluid
cause of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease(heartburn)
Acid refluxes after food has already been passed to the stomach; it may pass back up through the cardiac sphincter into the esophagus
parts of the comprehensive nutritional assessment

nutritional therapy with MI
Goal- Include intake of better types of fats, plant-based proteins, and soluble fiber. Weight loss may also be needed. 1. Adopting a Mediterranean diet 2. Substitute monounsaturated fat for saturated fats; choose more almonds, walnuts, pistachios, extra-virgin olive oil, and canola oil 3. Daily intakes of 2 to 3 g of plant stanols or sterol esters (isolated from soybean and tall pine tree oils) e.g., products on the market that contain stanols include some brands of orange juice, cereals, and spreads such as Take Control and Benecol 4. Substitute plant-based proteins for animal proteins. Plant-based protein foods (e.g., legumes, dry beans, nuts, whole grains, and vegetables) contain no saturated fat. Healthy animal proteins include fat-free or low-fat dairy products, egg whites, fish, skinless poultry, and lean cuts of beef and pork
Nutritional therapy for PUD (peptic ulcer disease)
Goal- eradicating H. pylori, reducing stomach acidity, relieving symptoms, healing the ulcer, preventing reoccurrence, and avoiding complications 1. No need for special diet or bland diet; high quality diet will suffice. 2. Elimination of foods that may worsen damage to lining of esophagus, stomach, or duodenum, such as red and black pepper, chili pepper, coffee, caffeine, and alcohol. 3. Smoking cessation

Causes of Congestive heart failure (CHF)
Heart failure often develops after other conditions have damaged or weakened the heart. Allergic reactions,Any illness that affects the whole body,Blood clots in the lungs,Severe infections,Use of certain medications,Viruses that attack the heart muscle
Causes of Hypertension
In primary hypertension, the cause is not evident, and genetic factors are involved. For some individuals, an overactive hormonal renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plays a part. Prematurity, low birth weight, infections, and poor nutrition can lead to inadequate kidney development or kidney diseases. In secondary hypertension, the specific cause of elevated blood pressure can be identified. Examples include Cushing's syndrome, polycystic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, thyroid disorders, or primary aldosteronism.
Causes of PUD (peptic ulcer disease)
Infection with Helicobacter pylori or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
causes of diarrhea
Infection, maldigestion, inflammation, functional disorders of the bowel
how to prevent risks for parenteral feeding
Most are prevented by following monitoring recommendations, using stringent techniques and careful insertion of the central line.
preventive measures for enteral feeding
Most problems with tube feeding can be prevented by good hand washing skills by all the nursing staff administering the feeding,
different tube feedings
Nasogastric, Nasoduodenal, Nasojejunal, Esophagostomy, Gastrostomy, jejunostomy
causes of myocardial infarction
Occurs as a result of sustained ischemia (an inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of the body, especially the heart muscles) that causes irreversible damage to the heart
Constipation causes
Organic:intestinal obstruction, spasms of sigmoid colon, diverticulitis, tumors,Ignoring urge to defecate,Lack of fluid,Prolonged bed rest or lack of physical activity,Habitual use of laxatives or enemas,Pregnancy
why you would choose one tube feeding over the other
Placing the feeding tube into the stomach, duodenum or jejunum through the nose is the simplest and most commonly used tube feeding technique. Surgical placement is preferred when long term use is anticipated
Enteral feeding
This includes liquid diets, soft and solid food diets and special nutritionally complete formulas administered orally or via tubes.
parenteral feeding
This involves the provision of energy and nutrients intravenously. When nutrients are infused into a large diameter vein such as superior vena cava or subclavian vein.
positioning when feeding a client
The safest eating position for someone who has trouble swallowing is sitting upright; the caregiver should sit opposite to help provide cues and reminders while the patient is eating.
Use of Enteral Feeding
This happens when a patient is not able to eat orally for more than a few days, a nonoral method must be used.
use of parenteral feeding
This is for patients who cannot adequately get nutrition through the GI tract. Factors should be considered before initiating is the nature of the patient's GI dysfunction, severity of malnutrition, degree of hypercatbolism, medical prognosis and wishes.
Peptic Ulcer disease (PUD)
a break or ulceration in the protective mucosal lining of the lower esophagus, stomach and duodenum
causes of diverticulitis
a result of long-term, low-fiber eating habits and increased intracolonic pressure such as that created with straining to have a bowl movement
Risks associated with Irritable Bowel syndrome
abdominal discomfort, changes in bowel habits, and pain
nutritional therapy for constipation
adequate fluids, and ample fiber
BMR response to Starvation
after going without food or nutrients the body extracts stored carbohydrates and fat as well as protein from muscles and organs to meet energy demand. the body's metabolic rate slows becoming Hypo-metabolic.
Crohn's disease (regional enteritis)
an inflammatory disorder that involves all layers of the intestinal wall and may affect the small intestine, large intestine, or both.
Causes of Crohn's Disease
autoimmune condition caused by a genetic predisposition followed by an environmental trigger

causes of Hepatitis (A,B,C,D and E)
inflammation of the liver caused by infectious mononucleosis, cirrhosis, toxic chemicals, viral infection
vomiting/reverse peristalsis
instead of food moving down the GI tract, the peristalsis muscles move the contents of the stomach back through the esophagus and forcefully out the mouth.
Acute Diarrhea
is of short duration and usually the result of medications, changes in dietary habits, or emotional stress.
Diarrhea
is the passing of loose, watery bowel movements that result when the contents of the GI tract move through too quickly to allow water to be reabsorbed in the colon.
risks associated with pancreatitis
malabsorption of fats and proteins, chronic pain, and Diabetes mellitus
Biochemical
many routine blood and urine lab test-useful for objective assessment of nutrition status
Anthropometric
measurements that are simple noninvasive techniques that measure height and weight, head circumference and skin fold thickness
Level Two of dysphagia diet
mechanically altered diet- foods have to moist, soft and easily chewed. meats are ground and served with gravy or sauce.
risks associated with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (Heartburn)
severe burning sensation under the sternum; asthma; chronic cough; and other ear, nose, and throat ailment
Nutritional support after surgery
nutrition interventions to help reduce the risk of patient morbidity, mortality and complications, moral support as well.
soft diets
ordered after surgery or a transition from liquid diets to regular diets
food poisoning- preventive measures
personal hygiene and hand washing are most important for prevention , food temps should be maintained.
Hospitalization impact on nutrition
prolong hospitalization was linked to weight loss, also may be affected by medical fasting for testing. 40% of patients are malnourished when admitted.
nutrition's impact on recovery
proper nutrition is vital for proper healing and recovery, poor nutrition may lead to morbidity and mortality, longer length of stay and higher cost of care.
Level one dysphasia diet
pureed diet- no coarse textures are allowed, and foods are totally. blended without lumps, liquids ordered separately and usually pudding consistency.
vegetarian diets
regular diet but does not include meat, poultry, fish or seafood or products containing these foods.
risks associated with Hypertension
stroke, myocardial infarction, vascular disease, and chronic kidney disease
risks associated with parenteral feeding
technical, pneumothorax is the most common, then septic complications, and also metabolic as well and the most common is hyperglycemia.
Dysphagia diet
used with ALS, some forms of stroke, head and neck cancer and other conditions in which swallowing is impaired, thickness can be added to make drinks thicker
BMR Response to stress
the boys metabolic rate rises a lot thus becoming hyperbolic, the response to stress involves most metabolic pathways, with accelerated metabolism of lean body mass, negative nitrogen balance and muscle wasting.
Kcals
the number of calories in food tells us how much potential energy they contain. substance from which the calories are taken is important as well.
Dietary
there are several methods of collecting information regarding actual and habitual dietary intake- most common data collected using dietary recall methods or documented food records.
Percent (%) Daily Value
this doesn't add up to 100% instead it is the percentage of daily value for each nutrient in a serving of food. can tell you if a serving of food is high. or low in nutrient.
diet as tolerated
this happens when a patient is admitted or after an operation, it permits the patients preferences and situation to be taken into consideration
clinical
this includes data from several sources, like medical history, social history and physical exam
Health claims
this includes things that are high in fiber, folic aid and low in sodium, this helps people who need extra of these vitamins.
Lactose - free diet
this is foods that have no lactose or milk products in this, for people who are lactose intolerant.
Clear liquid diet
this was usually ordered when a patient have a gastrointestinal surgery or colonoscopy. diet consists of foods that are clear and liquid at room or body temp, ex: popsicles, plain gelatin, ice chips and apple or grape juices.
risks for PUD (peptic Ulcer disease)
weakens the protective mucosal layer of the stomach and duodenum, allowing gastric acid to damage epithelial tissues, which leads to ulcerogenesis (to cause an ulcer), deep ulcers may penetrate the mucosa and damage blood vessels, causing hemorrhage or perforation of the GI wall
Diverticulitis
when the musculature of the bowel walls weakens, diverticula (pouchlike herniations protruding from the muscular layer of the colon) often develop.
serving size
you should compare the amount of food you normally eat to the serving size listed on the label. the larger portions, the more calories you eat.
