Portage Learning: Nutrition Module 6 Already Passed

Portage Learning: Nutrition Module 6 Already Passed List and briefly describe in your own words the three stages of gestation. Challenges of feeding preschoolers include all of the following except: Frequent snacks What is colostrum? A thick yellowish substance that is secreted from the breast in the first few days following delivery. It is rich in protein and immune factors. Describe in your own words one psychosocial factor of aging. Depression is a psychosocial factor of aging. As people age, their friends and family begin to die, and a person is no longer able to do the things they used to do, which leads to depression List three foods that should not be given to a child under one year of age. Give the reason not to provide the food to the child after each item listed. Honey (may cause botulism) Cow's milk (infant is unable to digest those proteins) Excess juice (empty calories, causes cavities) What are common mineral deficiencies in the diets of school age children? Lack of calcium, iron and zinc There is a screening tool for the nutrition of the elderly called DETERMINE. What does each letter in the acronym DETERMINE mean? Disease Eating poorly Tooth loss Economic hardship Reduced social contact Medications Involuntary weight loss Needs assistance Elderly (over 80) All of the following are common during pregnancy and pose minimal risk to mom or baby when managed with some dietary interventions except: Gestational Diabetes List one of the three nutrition concerns for preschoolers outlined in this module and what steps can be taken to remedy the situation. Dental cavities occur when sugar from beverages or food lie on the teeth or gums for an extended period of time. To prevent cavities from developing, never put a baby to bed with a bottle of milk, formula, or juice. Wipe your infants gum and teeth after drinking or eating. For toddlers and preschoolers, avoid sticky, high sugar snacks and encourage brushing with a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste. Describe the difference between successful and usual aging. Each describes the effects of one's choices on physical and physiological changes. Usual aging reflects poor lifestyle choices while Successful aging describes changes that occur due to age but not poor lifestyle choices. What are two fatty acids essential for the brain and eye development of newborns? AHA and DHA List two nutritional concerns for school age children, some likely causes, and remedies. excess consumption of saturated fat (The problem is that most children are consuming excess fat in their daily diet. Small diet changes can lower fat consumption without compromising flavor. Strategies to significantly decrease the amount of fat in the food range from switching to low-fat milk and part-skim cheese, substituting lean ground turkey for ground beef, taking the skin off chicken, and baking or broiling instead of frying foods.), increasing incidents of overweight and obese children (approximately 40% of obese children become obese adults. There are many factors contributing to this growing health risk: Supersized portions, fast food, convenience foods, increased soft drink consumption, and easy access to sugar-laden snack foods. Coupled with a lack of physical activity, often related to decreased gym time at school, a lack of safe play areas, and increased TV viewing time, it becomes easy to see why the incident of overweight and obese children continues to increase. Although it may be easy to figure out why children are gaining weight, resolving the issue is not as simple. For instance, while most adults undertake a diet to lose weight, this is not the best approach with children. The first step in addressing the problem is to look at how much physical activity the child gets in a day's time. Health professionals recommend at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day for children and teens.) Discuss in your own words the recommended foods for newborns through one year of age. Be sure to include the methods by which new foods are introduced. From 0-4 months, breast milk or formula 4-6 months introduce solid food (rice cereal first, then one new food at a time). If baby continually thrusts tongue, they are too young 6-12 months, continue to introduce new foods, textures, tastes All of the following are true of nutrient needs of older adults except: Adequate fluid consumption What is the "compression of morbidity?" Delay of disabilities caused by age related disease. Describe in your own words one physiological factor of aging. Skeletal changes: as a person ages, their bones begin to break down. It is important that they still get enough calcium and vitamin D. Be familiar with the nutrient needs of a woman during pregnancy. B-Vitamins, Folate, extra 25g protein, iodide, zinc, iron, and calcium Be familiar with proper nutrition for infants and
