,you are admitting a patient with anorexia what measures will you take regarding food - Answer: assign
privileges based on weight gain
what food item is appropriate to consume for a patient who has celiac disease - Answer: potatoes
(gluten free)
(food items that are not gluten free: bread, pudding, brand muffin, graham cracker),
For this disease, eliminate gluten from diet, give vitamin (ADEK - fat soluble) supplements. Can have rice
& corn.
It is a chronic, inherited, genetic disorder with autoimmune characteristics. Clients who have celiac
disease are unable to digest the protein gluten. They lack the digestive enzyme DPP-IV, which is
required to break down the gluten into molecules small enough to be used by the body. In celiac
disease, gluten is broken down into peptide strands instead molecules. The body is not able to
metabolize the peptides. If untreated, the client will suffer destruction of the villa and the walls of
the small intestine. Celiac disease may go undiagnosed in both children and adults.
a patient with diabetes 1 mellitus assess somogyi phenomenon - Answer: monitor blood glucose levels
during the night
when performing enteral tube feeding you must - Answer: increase volume of formula over first 4-6
feedings ,
a method of feeding by providing a liquid diet directly to the stomach or intestine through a tube placed
down the throat or through the wall of the GI tract
what is a normal lab value for a person with type 2 diabetes - Answer: HbA1c of 6.5%
abnormal: serum creatine 1.5 mg/dL
BUN of 25 mg/dL
pre-meal blood glucose of 145 mg/dL
If you had a fasting blood glucose test:
•A level of 100-125mg/dL means you have impaired fasting glucose, a type of prediabetes. This
increases your risk for type 2 diabetes.
•A level of 126 mg/dL and higher most often means you have diabetes
, gastric bypass surgery - Answer: start each meal with protein ,
: surgically makes the stomach smaller and causes food to bypass the first part of the small intestine.
this procedure is not reversible
somogyi phenomenon - Answer: is fasting hyperglycemia that occurs in morning in response to
hypoglycemia during the night time. the nurse assesses for this phenomenon by monitoring blood
glucose levels during the night.
Usually occurs during the night, but manifests as an elevated glucose in the morning and may be
inadvertently treated with an increase in insulin dosage. Check blood glucose around 3:00 a.m. Adjusting
insulin to avoid peaking during the night will correct this effect.
enteral feeding must report: - Answer: report sodium 128 mEq/L. this finding is the priority to report to
provider.
normal range for blood sodium levels is 135 to 145 milliequivalents per liter ...
hyponatremia occurs when hyperosmolar enteral feedings are being administered too rapidly and
places client at risk for dehydration. it is important that formula be prepared as directed. diluting
formula can decrease its nutritional content and cause inadequate weight gain.
Nutrients supplied to the gastrointestinal tract orally or by feeding tube.
engaging in what activity will burn more calories - Answer: 125 lb person; playing soccer `
diverticulitis - Answer: limit fiber intake when experiencing manifestations.
Infected or inflamed pouch (diverticulum) in the colon. Common in older persons; Low-fiber diet and
constipation are risk factors.
type I diabetes (how to count carbs) - Answer: "I know the serving size can affect the number of carbs I
can eat
:A chronic metabolic disease characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels associated with the
inability of the pancreas to produce insulin; also called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or
juvenile-onset diabetes.
