Module 6: Diabetes, Thyroid Disease and Obesity
Nutrition: The concept of nutrition is complex, involving a number of
physiological processes. Nutrition is defined as the science of optimal cellular
metabolism and its impact on health and disease
Key terms: Metabolism, macronutrients, phytochemicals
Vitamins and Mineral Deficiencies and Toxicities: must know just like the
electrolytes: know the consequences of deficiencies and toxicities
Vitamin A
Vitamin B (thiamine)
Vitamin B
Vitamin B12
Biotin
Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Copper
Iron
Magnesium
Zinc
Body Mass Index (BMI): measuring height and weight, and determining
body mass index are the initial steps in assessing nutritional status
Labs to determine nutritional status:
Serum Albumin and pre-albumin
Blood glucose and hemoglobin A1C
Lipid Profile
Electrolytes
Hemoglobin and Hematocrit
Nursing Implications: primary prevention, healthy eating, physical activity,
secondary prevention (screening), collaborative interventions
Conditions Associated with Insufficient Nutrition: anorexia nervosa, bulimia,
fat malabsorption syndrome, iron deficiency anemia, protein-calorie
malnutrition, vitamin deficiencies and zinc deficiency
Conditions Associated with Excessive Nutrition: obesity, hyperlipidemia,
obesity-related conditions, metabolic syndrome, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease,
stroke, hypertension, colon and hormonal cancers (prostate and breast)
Conditions associated with altered digestion/metabolism: lactose
intolerance, celiac disease, gastroesophageal reflux, phenylketonuria
