ATI proctor, Nutrition
Chapter 1:
Carbohydrate, protein and fat 3 main nutrients.
Carbs: 45-65% of daily calories
function: energy, regulate fat,
... [Show More] cardiac and cns system, protein metabolism.
Glycogen: stored carb in the liver and muscle and it release between the meals to regulate the
Blood glucose level.
Carbs 4 calories per gram per energy
* Fiber intake 25gr women, for M 38gr per day
* Protein 10-35% daily calories, 0.8 gr per kg body weight, tissue building, immune
function, neutral nitrogen balance. Wound healing is important.
Complete protein: all 9 amino acids, animal sources and soy
Incomplete: 2 different one together is complete like rice plus beans.
Protein 4 calories per gram per energy.
Fat lipids: 20-35% of daily calories. Les that 10 sutured fat, ideally 7%
Function: store energy, padding insulation. Hormone, absorption of fat-soluble vitamin
Cholesterol: 200-300 mg/day
Fat provides 9 calories/energy
If you eat 5 gr of fat how many calories: 45 calories.
Vitamins:
Fat soluble: A, D, E, K they have risk for toxicity, don’t overdose, CF, celiac and crohns disease
Water soluble: Vitamin C and B complex thiamine, niacin, pardaxin, panthocacid, folic,
cobalamin: no risk for toxicity, you will pee it out.

Vitamin K: blood clotting and bone maintenance, dark green veggie, carrots deficiency: increase
bleeding time. Antidote for Warfarin
Electrolytes:
Sodium Na: 136-145 normal level.
function: fluid balance and nerve and muscle function. Food high in Na: salt and processed
food.
Hyper: hypervolemia and HTN

FOOD HIGH IN K: bananas, potatoes, tomatoes, oranges, avocadoes, dark green veggies, dried
foods
Hyper: dysrhythmias, muscle weakness, NV, confusion
Hypo: dysrhythmias, muscle cramps and constipation
Chloride Cl: 98-106 is normal level
Function: Help with digestion, ICF and ECF. Find in salt
Hyper: NV

Ph: Phosphorus 3-4.5 is normal level
Function: bone and teeth formation
Dairy and cheese, dark green veggies, fish and legumes
Inverse relationship with calcium, high Calcium low Ph
Trace Minerals:
1. Iodine: synthesis of thyroxine required level is 100-150mcg. Find in table salt and sea
food
2. Iron: make help HH. Meat, fish, legumes, Vitamin C, constipation, increase fiber intake,
tooth discoloration. Z track for IM injection. Calcium lower absorption

S/S: dehydration poor skin turgor, confusion, hypotension, decrease Urine output, dry
mucous membrane, increase urine osmolarity. Sunken in babies.
Chapter 2:
Catabolism: breaking down of substance to release energy
Anabolism uses energy to repair
BMR: energy required for involuntary activities within 24hrs. heart function, respiration
INCREASE BMMR: Male gender, more muscle mass, periods of growth such as puberty,
stress, exposure to cold, disease and illness, hyperthyroidism, seizure, surgery, pregnancy
and lactation
Decrease: female gender, shorter height, less muscle mass, starvation, older age and
hypothyroidism.
Nitrogen balance: component amino acids: nitrogen intake-nitrogen excretion
For the Adults this nitrogen balance should be neutral.
Negative nitrogen: insufficient protein intake, malnutrition or aging, illness.
Positive nitrogen balance: growth, pregnancy and lactation
Chapter 3:
S/s of malnutrition: poor wound healing, hair loss, brittle hair, weakness, poor LOC and look
for pre albumin (15-36) albumin (3.5-5)
Increase protein and calories: add milk powder to milk, whole milk, high calories
food, cheese, peanut butter, use of supplement and collaborate with dietitian.
