PASS.
Enteral nutrition - ANS through GI tract
Parenteral nutrition - ANS Through IV, must be in central line
what are the bodies needs for metabolic activities - ANS -maintain body temperature
-muscle tone
-producing and releasing secretions
-propelling food through the GI tract
-inflating the lungs
-contracting heart muscle
what nutrient do we need if we are hypothermic, to increase body temp? - ANS sugar
why do males have a higher BMR? - ANS due to larger muscle mass
what nutrient do we need to maintain muscle tone? - ANS protein
1 @COPYRIGHT 2025/2026 ALLRIGHTS RESERVED
,factors that will increase BMR - ANS growth
infections
fever
stress
environmental extremes
factors that decrease BMR - ANS aging
fasting
sleep
what are the 3 nutrients that supply energy? - ANS Carbs
protein
lipids
what are the 3 nutrients that regulate body processes - ANS Vitamins
Minerals
Water
what acid base imbalance occurs during starvation? - ANS Metabolic acidosis
Ketosis - ANS eating less than 50-100 g of carbs per day, body produces ketones and is
frequently associated with acidosis
Carbohydrates - ANS -Sugars and starches
-most abundant and least expensive source of calories in the world
-classified as simple or complex sugars
-converted to glucose for transport through the blood

, -cells oxidize glucose to provide energy, carbon dioxide, and water
-50-100 g/day are needed to prevent ketosis
Sources of carbs - ANS simple sugars and starch
cellulose (water insoluble)
water soluble fibers
Functions of carbs - ANS -provide energy
-prevent ketosis for inefficient fat metabolism
-absorb water (increase bulk)
-slow gastric emptying
-lower cholesterol
-delay glucose absorption
Protein - ANS -required for growth and repair of body tissues
-labeled complete(high quality) or incomplete (low quality)
-22 amino acids - 9 are essential
-animal proteins are complete, plant proteins are incomplete
-RDA for adults is 0.8 g/kg of body weight, 10% -20% of total calorie intake
Sources of protein - ANS milk, meat, poultry, fish, eggs, peas, beans and nuts
Functions of protein - ANS -tissue growth and repair
-component of body fluids
-helps regulate fluid balance
-helps regulate acid-base balance
-forms antibodies
-detoxifies harmful substances
