|
|
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) & Resting energy expenditure (REE)
|
Energy Requirements
|
|
Provision of nutrients through the GI tract when the client cannot ingest, chew, or swallow food but can digest and absorb nutrients
|
Enteral nutrition
|
|
Proteins produced by living cells that catalyze chemical reactions in organic matter
|
Enzymes
|
|
Amino acids that the body cannot synthesize and must be provided by diet
|
Essential amino acids
|
|
Nutrients composed of chains of carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms with an acid group on one end of the chain and a methyl group at the other
|
Fatty acids
|
|
Fatty acids that have one carbon bond
|
Monounsaturated-
|
|
Fatty acids that have 2 or more carbon double bonds
|
Polyunsaturated
|
|
Fatty acids in which each carbon in the chain has an attached hydrogen atom
|
Saturated
|
|
- Nutrient that contains cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose, and lignin;
- sources are mainly fruits and vegetables. - structural carbohydrates usually found in plants which cannot be digested by humans who don’t have the enzyme capable of breaking them down |
Fiber
|
|
- composed of: Mouth, Salivary Glands, Pharynx, Esophagus, Stomach, Small Intestine, Large intestine, Rectum, Anus, Gallbladder, Liver, and Pancreas
|
GI system
(a problem w/the GI system means there will be a problem with nutrition) |
|
bile not being secreted = bile build up = jaundice = gall bladder problems, which leads to
|
Gall Bladder disease
|
|
surgical creation of an artificial opening into the stomach through the abdominal wall
|
Gastrostomy
|
|
inflammation of the tongue
|
Glossitis
|
|
Formation of gluclose or glycogen from substances that are not carbohydrates, such as proteins or lipids
|
Gluconeogenesis
|
|
- Anabolism (build up) of glucose into glycogen for storage.
- Makes new glucose when no glycogen is available. Ex: from fat storage, if no fat available ex: anorexics or frail older adults must make from proteins- which leads to whole muscle waste |
Glycogenesis
|
|
Catabolism (breakdown) of glycogen into glucose, CO2, and H2O
|
Glycogenolysis
|
|
Regulate flow of digestive secretions
ex: gastrin |
Hormonal Digestion
|
|

- less likely to occur with water-soluble vitamins |
hypervitaminosis
|
|
- Passage of digested food molecules into intestinal cells.
- Small intestine is primary site for nutrient absorption. - All 6 nutrients are absorbed. - Aspirin and alcohol are absorbed here and irritate gastric mucosa, which can lead to a GI bleed. |
