----Breastfeeding, formula, solid foods
--Adolescents
--Young and middle adults
--Older adults
3. Alternative Food Patterns - ANSWER ✔ -Based on religion, cultural
background, ethics, health beliefs, and preference
-Vegetarian diet consists predominantly of plant foods:
--Ovolactovegetarian (avoids meat, fish, and poultry, but eats eggs and milk)
--Lactovegetarian (drinks milk but avoids eggs)
--Vegan (consumes only plant foods)

,-Zen macrobiotic (brown rice, other grains, herbal teas)
4. Nutrition-
Nursing process: assessment - ANSWER ✔ Anthropometry is a measurement
system of the size and makeup of the body.
--An ideal body weight (IBW) provides an estimate of what a person should
weigh.
--Body mass index (BMI) measures weight corrected for height and serves as
an alternative to traditional height-weight relationships.
Laboratory and biochemical tests
dietary and health history
physical examination
dysphagia
5. Nutrition-
Nursing process: planning - ANSWER ✔ -Nutrition education and counseling
are important for all patients to prevent disease and promote health.
Refer to professional standards for nutrition.
-Collaboration with a registered dietitian (RD) helps develop appropriate
nutrition treatment plans.
-Considerations:
--Perioperative food intake
--Enteral and parenteral feedings
--Assistive devices
6. Nutrition-
Nursing process: implementation - ANSWER ✔ Health promotion
--Education
--Early identification of potential or actual problems
--Meal planning
--Weight loss plans
--Food safety
Acute care
,-Risk factors in acutely ill patient
-Advancing diets = Gradual progression of dietary intake or therapeutic diet to
manage illness
-Promoting appetite
-Assisting with oral feedings
--When a patient needs help with eating, it is important to protect his or her
safety, independence, and dignity.
7. Intracellular Fluid (ICF) - ANSWER ✔ Fluid located inside the cells.
Contains water and electrolytes essential for cell function.
8. Extracellular Fluid (ECF) - ANSWER ✔ Fluid located outside the cells,
including interstitial fluid and vascular fluid.
9. Active Transport - ANSWER ✔ Movement of electrolytes across a cell
membrane from a lower concentration to a higher concentration using ATP
energy.
10.Diffusion - ANSWER ✔ Movement of particles from an area of higher
concentration to an area of lower concentration.
11.Osmosis - ANSWER ✔ Movement of water from an area of low particle
concentration to an area of high particle concentration.
12.Filtration - ANSWER ✔ Movement of fluid from an area of high pressure
to an area of low pressure.
13.Fluid Intake - ANSWER ✔ Amount of fluid consumed daily through oral
intake, IV fluids, tube feedings, soups, gelatin, ice cream, and medications.
14.Fluid Output - ANSWER ✔ Fluid lost through urine, diarrhea, vomiting,
wound drainage, gastric suction, lungs, skin, and GI tract.
15.Sensible Fluid Loss - ANSWER ✔ Fluid loss that can be measured, such as
urine, drainage, vomiting, and diarrhea.
16.Insensible Fluid Loss - ANSWER ✔ Fluid loss that cannot easily be
measured, such as sweating and breathing.
, 17.Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) - ANSWER ✔ Hormone that helps conserve
water by decreasing urine output.
18.Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) - ANSWER ✔ Hormonal
system that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance.
19.Reflex Incontinence - ANSWER ✔ Urinary leakage caused by nerve
damage or spinal cord injury.
20.Overflow Incontinence - ANSWER ✔ Leakage caused by overdistended
bladder and incomplete emptying.
21.Functional Incontinence - ANSWER ✔ Inability to reach toilet in time due
to physical or cognitive impairment.
22.Bedwetting - ANSWER ✔ Involuntary urination during sleep.
23.Urinary Retention - ANSWER ✔ Inability to fully empty the bladder.
Signs/symptoms include hesitancy, distention, weak stream, leakage, and
pain. Treatment includes catheterization.
24.Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) - ANSWER ✔ Infection caused by bacteria
entering urinary tract. Common pathogen is E. coli. Signs/symptoms include
burning, urgency, frequency, and pain.
25.paralytic ileus - ANSWER ✔ no bowl sounds after surgery, constipation,
usually temporary paralysis of intestinal wall that may occur after abdominal
surgery or peritoneal injury and that causes cessation of peristalsis and leads
to abdominal distention and symptoms of obstruction
26.nursing assessment for paralytic ileus - ANSWER ✔ listen to each
quadrant for 5 minutes each, checking medication that would alter bowl
movements, checking for signs of dehydrations, proper nutrition (24 diet
recall) and to see if any intake of food/water, any restrictions on patient
27.process of peristalsis - ANSWER ✔ under control of the nervous system,
contractions occurs every 3 to 12 minutes, mass peristalsis sweeps occur 1 to
