In this class I have learned that eating healthy does not necessarily mean consuming less calories, skipping specific food groups, or skipping whole meals; but rather, eating healthy means consuming all types of foods in a balanced way. What surprised me most was that healthy eating actually means consuming many calories, but they have to be beneficial; they cannot be so called “empty calories.” Foods that are considered high in calories but still healthy are dried fruits and avocados. Cereal is a good breakfast option because of the high percentage of fiber and calcium. While consuming many healthy calories is ...

After decades of uncontrolled hypertension, Ms. Griffin was diagnosed with left-sided heart failure. Although her heart failure was diagnosed eight years ago, she is currently in nursing care and cannot move from the bed or wheelchair because angina and dyspnea episodes often occur even during periods of rest.

Nutrition is an indispensable component of care. It is from food intake that the body obtains the micro and macro nutrients needed to maintain and improve health. Diet is also an area of regulation for the management of chronic diseases such as diabetes. Care plans focused on nutrition necessarily must be individualized to take into account unique needs arising from specific medical conditions, the client’s developmental stage, and cultural preferences. Developing a care plan entails evaluating for nutritional risk, defining the goals of nutrition therapy, identifying interventions and expected outcomes, implementing the interventions, providing education, and promoting safety.

Evaluation of Nutritional Risk

Background: The rising prevalence of obesity in children is a serious public health concern. Obesity is like a silent killer, and can predispose the child to a number of lifelong disabilities and chronic diseases. Obesity is negatively linked to life span. A child with obesity has higher amount of adipose tissue deposition, when compared to a normal weight child. The excess calorie that is not utilized for work or growth, is deposited in the form of adipose tissue and stored in the body. Adipose tissues are made of adipocytes or other called fat containing cells.
Obesity occurs from factors ...

• Client’s BMI

BMI = 24.4

BMI of the client is normal as it falls in between the category of normal weight.

• Client’s BMR
BMR = 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) – 5 x age (years) + 5
BMR = 1700.25
The minimum number of calories needed by the client to keep his body functioning are 1700.25.

• Client’s target heart rate at 60% and 80% using the Karvonen formula

Minimum Training Heart Rate:
220 – 55 (Age) = 165
165 – 80 (Resting Heart Rate) = 85
85 x 0.60 (Minimum Intensity) + 80 (Resting Heart Rate) = 131 beats per minute

Maximum Training Heart Rate:

220 – 55 (Age) = 165
165 – 80 (Resting Heart Rate) = 85
85 x 0.80 (Maximum Intensity) + 80 (Resting Heart Rate) = 148 beats per minute

The training heart rate region of the client lies in from 131 to 148.

Rationale for Testing
...

Eating disorders are characterized by the changes in a person’s eating behavior that is either a significant reduction of food or substantial overeating. The causes of these states may vary from the feelings of distress to the concern about one’s body and therefore one’s appearance. As a rule, adolescents and young adults suffer from eating disorders, but children and older adults may face these problems too. Anorexia, bulimia and binge eating are the primary types of eating disorders ("Eating Disorders | Psychology Today", 2015, n.p.).

Pathophysiology

One of the most important parts of achieving the goal of being able to meet the patient’s entire healthcare (i.e. nursing) needs is to ensure that the underlying disease’s pathophysiology is well understood by all the stakeholder groups. These groups, in this case, would include the medical and healthcare practitioners, patients, and their respective family members. It would be a lot easier to instruct a patient to have a patient undergo a prescribed healthcare routine once he understands the nature of his condition, why each procedure is being done, and how they collectively contribute to the end-goal ...

I. UNDERSTANDING THE DISEASE AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
1. How is acid produced and controlled within the gastrointestinal tract?
The production of acid occurs in the stomach by cells that are therein. The cells found in the stomach produce intrinsic factors and hydrochloric acid. There are chemical messengers that help during the activity. They are histamine, gastrin and acetylcholine. Gastrin helps in stimulating the cells to produce secretions when food enters the stomach. An enzyme somatostatin inhibits the secretions when needed. The digestion takes place in three phases; the cephalic phase, gastric phase and the intestinal phase. It is in the ...

The purpose of this paper is proposing an effective exercise program for a healthy young male to lose 25 lbs of body fat, increase strength and improve endurance. The program is designed for a 20 year old subject with an average body mass of around 150 lbs. Changes in body weight during the course of this program will not be taken into consideration for calculating daily expenditure of energy, because calorie calculation is not a precise science but an approximation. We will keep in mind that the ultimate goal of losing weight should always include increasing overall health and vitality and that ...

Part I. Cultural and Family Assessment

Culture and family are oftentimes neglected during patient assessment, especially when the person is viewed only in terms of disease, causes and treatment. However, providing holistic care that encompasses all aspects of the patient’s life has the potential to improve patient outcomes. In nursing theory, Callista Roy and Madeleine Leininger refer to culture as a belief system, a worldview through which the patient perceives health, care, nursing and the world in general (George, 2011). It is transmitted from one generation to the next through interaction in social institutions such as the family, school and ...

Question#1

Nutrition also known as aliment or nourishment, is the stipulation, to organisms and cells, of the materials essential (in food form) to support life.

Obesity is a health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of fat, such that it poses potential health risks to the affected individual (Ogden, Carroll, Fryar & Flegal, 2015). The most commonly used approach for classifying the relation between a person’s weight and his/her health is the body mass index, BMI. The BMI calculates the weight of a person based on that person’s height. Age and gender are factors that are considered when calculating the BMI. Waist circumference is also combined with the BMI approach in diagnosing obesity. Obesity predisposes the patients to other health conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, ...

The patient presents with anorexia, heartburn, and weight loss over the past 6 months while also complaining of back pain. All these symptoms point to a problem within the gastrointestinal system which is slowly developing and which if not managed at this early stage could progress to severity. The weight loss over the last six months is an indication of the inability of the body to process and utilize the meals taken as would be expected and the body is currently more reliant on the food/energy reserves (Jarvis, 2015).
In this case, there are three possible causes for these ...

The symptoms of anorexia, heartburn, and weight loss are common for duodenal ulcer disease, functional dyspepsia, acute gastritis, alcohol related dyspepsia (ARD) as well as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). All these conditions are difficult to diagnose correctly due to the variable nature of its presenting symptoms against those of other gastrointestinal illnesses. In this case, acute gastritis is ruled out technically by the fact that it presents with presence of blood in the stool and the test in this case did not indicate any blood stains. On the other hand, acute gastric presents with temporary pain in the stomach ...

The injury of the skeletal muscles results to the production of different intracellular muscle ingredients. In this case, J.K had an acute renal failure with Rhabdomyolysis because of cocaine and heroin use. Cocaine and heroin cause damage to myocyte. Damage to the myocyte leads to an entry of sodium ...
