1 litre of oedema weighs

1kg.

How many days of re-feeding is required for tissue repair during the recovery phase, for each day starved during the catabolic phase

3-5

Approximately how many days of re-feeding is required for tissue repair during the recovery phase, for each day starved during the catabolic phase

3-5 days

State the effects of protein energy malnutrition on muscle function

Slowly adapts to using fatty acids and ketones as fuel releasing amino acids for gluconeogenesis contributing to weakness.

Following starvation

Slight increase plasma catabolic hormones Slow weight loss Body protein is spared

State the difference between nutritional screening and nutritional assessment

A nutritional screening is a rapid process of identifying clinical characteristics known to be associated with malnutrition. A nutritional assessment is a comprehensive process of identifying and evaluating the nutritional status of individual using appropriate quantifiable methods. A nutritional assessment looks at multiple factors to gain a broader scope rather than focusing on one. A nutritional screening uses quantitative date which is less subjective and less open to personal interpretation.

Which of the following does not occur in response to injury: rapid weight loss, body protein in spared, increased metabolic rate, large increase in plasma catabolic hormones

Body protein is spared

Identify 5 situations where risk of developing protein energy malnutrition is high.

Cancer Depression and grief Elderly Obesity Acute and chronic pain

During starvation

Cardiac and respiratory function decline

Metabolic rate increases

Don't occur following starvation

The catabolic phase leads to

Increased circulating nutrients for tissue repair

Metabolic rate following injury

Increases

The catabolic phase

Leads to increased circulating nutrients for tissue repair

The body 'burns' tissue protein as fuel during the catabolic phase because

Liver synthesis of ketones is reduced

The body 'burns' tissue proteins as fuel during the catabolic phase because

Liver synthesis of ketones is reduced

Which of the following does not occur during starvation: slow weight loss, body protein is spares, metabolic rate increases, slight increase plasma catabolic hormones

Metabolic rate increase

Outline the meaning of the term 'malnutrition'.

Occurs when the diet contains insufficient (undernutrition) or an excess (over nutrition) of one or more nutrients or when the individual cannot absorb sufficient of the nutrient(s) to maintain the health.

State the 5 main causes of malnutrition.

Poor intake (quantity) Poor intake (quality) Increased metabolism Increased losses Defective utilisation

Response to injury

Rapid weight loss Increased metabolic rate Large increase in plasma catabolic hormones.

People frequently experience depression during PEM due to

Reduced synthesis of brain neurotransmitters

People frequently experience depression during protein energy malnutrition due to

Reduced synthesis of brain neurotransmitters

The first phase following injury is known as the

Shock phase

State the effects of protein energy malnutrition on brain function

The brain requires 100g a day but adapts to ketones as fuel only after 10 days when the adaptation takes place the patient is in a semi-comatose hypoglycaemia in the meantime. Reduced neurotransmitter synthesis can lead to depression.

The physiological responses of the shock phase support

The cardiovascular system

The physiological responses of the shock phase support is

The cardiovascular system

State the effects of protein energy malnutrition on immune system function

The immune system normally has a very high cell turnover which is suppressed in starvation leading to poor cell mediated immunity which can lead to opportunistic infections for example candida.

What is meant by the term 'nutritional status'?

The state of health produced by the balance between requirements and intake of nutrients.

State the effects of protein energy malnutrition on respiratory function

There is a decreased vital capacity and inspiratory force leading to 40% reduced ventilator drive and reduced oxygenation.

State the effects of protein energy malnutrition on cardiac function

There is reduced cardiac output, stroke volume, blood and venous pressure this contributes to reduced tissue perfusion.

State the effects of protein energy malnutrition on kidney function

When the renal function is reduced it can lead to poor concentration known as polyuria and poor acid secretion known as acidosis.

State the effects of protein energy malnutrition on gut function

With the gut epithelium mitosis diminishes decreasing surface area causing malabsorption. With mucosal atrophy the gut bacteria leak into the blood stream and can cause septicaemia. Reduced pancreatic enzyme secretion leads to maldigestion. Descreased stomach acid secretion causes a poor infection barrier.
