a patient who has celiac disease
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
monitor blood glucose levels during the night
when performing enteral tube feeding you must
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
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.

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:
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.
