NURS 3010- Exam 3 questions with correct answers
Be able to identify methods used for nutrition assessment? Correct
Answer-• Food-and Nutrition Related History (Intake, administration,
physical activity, quality of life)
• Anthropometric measurements (height, weight, BMI)
• Biochemical Data, medical tests, and Procedures (lab data, test results)
• Nutrition-Focused physical findings (physical appearance, swallow
function, appetite)
• Client History (medical, health, and family history)
What is the nurse's role in nutrition support? Correct Answer-Provide
essential support and personalized care as well as identify nutrition
needs.
What factors are red flags for nutrition risk? e.g. unintentional weight
loss,, age, etc. Correct Answer-•Increased nutrient needs
•Immature GI tract
•Metabolic immaturities
•Medical complications/stressors
•Limited diet/weight loss
•age
•Feeding modalities
IV fluids Correct Answer-supply hydration and electrolytes, but not
energy and nutrients.
,Enteral feedings Correct Answer-Nutrition via the regular GI tract by
oral or tube.
Total parenteral nutrition Correct Answer-Nutrition via veins because
you're unable to use GI tract.
How are central and peripheral TPN different? (Common mistake:
confusing parenteral with peripheral). Correct Answer-Peripheral TPN-
Solutions feed directly into peripheral vein (short term)
Central TPN- Involves surgery to allow for high volumes for a longer
term (if becomes infected, can lead to much more destruction due to it
having access to such a diluted part of the body)
Poor nutrition status is associated with what outcomes in hospitalized
patients? (I.e. longer hospital stay..) Correct Answer-•impaired wound
healing
•impaired function of GI tract, cardio system or respiratory system
•increase risk of post operative function
•longer hospital stay
Review the strengths and limitations of techniques used to measure
dietary intake (Table 17-1). You do not need to memorize this table, just
be able to tell me what the methods are essentially and what their
strengths and limitations are. Correct Answer-Techniques: 24-hour food
recall, multiple day food record, food frequency questionnaires, diet
history.
, Understand the postoperative nutrition needs (protein and its functions)
and common complications (e.g. dumping syndrome). Correct Answer-
Protein: optimal protein intake during the postoperative recovery period
is important for all patients. Protein is needed to replace losses that occur
during surgery to meet the increased demands of the healing process.
Energy: enough nonprotein kilocalories must be provided to spare
protein for its vital tissue-building function. Carbohydrates spare protein
for tissue building and help avoid liver damage by maintaining glycogen
reserves in the liver.
Male- ([10xweight in kg] + [6.25 x height in cm] - [5 x age in years] +
5) x injury factor
Women- ([10 x weight in kg] + [6.25 x height in cm] - [5 x age in years]
- 161) x injury factor
Water: sufficient fluid replacement is necessary to prevent dehydration,
to maintain circulation and to prevent complications
Vitamins: vitamin C is vital for building connective tissue and capillary
walls during the healing process but levels are often low in critically ill
patients
Dumping syndrome: after the initial recovery from surgery, when the
patients begin to feel better and eat a regular diet in greater volume and
variety, discomfort may occur 10-20 minutes after meals with early-
onset dumping syndrome. A cramping and full feeling develops the
pulse rate becomes rapid and a wave of weakness, cold sweating, and
