  1. Week 15 Diet Manual Nutrition Screening Calculating Nutrient Needs Interpreting Nutritional Data Documenting Nutritional Data

  2. Chapter 6 Diet Manual

  3. Diet Manual • Specifies therapeutic diets and their application • Used as a reference book • Standardizes names for diets • States what foods are allowed and which ones are to be omitted

  4. Diet Manual • Readily available for all caregivers • Dictates what information may be given in nutrition education • Recommended by the Dietitian • Approved by the Medical Director • Must be updated every 5 years

  5. Liberalized Modified Diets • Advantages • Improved dietary compliance • Improved psychosocial status of resident • Improved appearance and flavor of food • Enhanced calorie and nutrient intake • Increased accuracy and efficiency of trayline

  6. Liberalized Modified Diets • Advantages (cont) • Improvement of fasting blood glucose levels • Improvement in ability to maintain acceptable weight and nutritional parameters • Decreased labor and food costs

  7. Liberalized Modified Diets • Advantages (cont) • Improved surveys due to reduced chance of error • Improved quality of life for residents • Happy, healthy, and satisfied residents

  8. Chapter 8 Nutrition Screening

  9. Nutrition Screening A systematic method of identifying individuals at risk for nutritional problems.

  10. Nutrition Screening • Effective Screening Process • Uses meaningful criteria as identified by a nutrition professional • Sets meaningful thresholds that correspond to known risks

  11. Nutrition Screening • Effective Screening Process (cont) • Is applied to every resident • Is implemented quickly at admission • Is implemented uniformly and consistently

  12. Nutrition Screening • The Nutrition Care Process • Screens patients for nutrition risk • Assess each patient identified in screening process as “at risk” • Develop a care plan for each patient • Document, communicate, and implement the plan • Re-assess patient at defined intervals • As appropriate, revise the plan

  13. Nutrition Screening • Nutrition Care Process • Nutrition Assessment • In-depth evaluation of a client’s nutritional well-being • Nutrition Diagnosis • Defines all nutrition related problems • Uses standardized terminology defined by the ADA

  14. Nutrition Screening • Nutrition Care Process (cont) • Nutrition Intervention • Actions taken to correct a nutrition problem • This starts with a care plan • Nutrition Monitoring/Evaluation • Follow-up to determine if interventions are working • Interventions are revised as needed

  15. Nutrition Screening • Indicators • Pieces of information that might suggest a concern or risk • Four basic indicators used in screening: • Anthropometric measurements • Biochemical tests • Clinical information • Diet history

  16. Nutrition Screening • Sources: • Professional Organizations • Researchers • Educational Institutions • Nutrition and Pharmaceuticals • Nestle and Ross • Software packages

  17. Nutrition Screening: Anthropometrics • Ideal body weight • Percent of ideal body weight • Percentage of weight change

  18. Nutrition Screening: Anthropometrics • Standards of weight loss that indicate a risk: • > 5 % in one month 30 days • >7.5 % in three months 90 days • >10 % in six months 180 days

  19. Nutrition Screening: Anthropometrics • Lean body mass • Weight of all parts of the body that are not fat e.g.: muscles, bones and organs

  20. Nutrition Screening: Anthropometrics • Body mass index [BMI] • Standard for evaluating body weight based on the proportion of weight to height • BMI = weight in kg divided by the height in meters [39.37] squared

  21. Nutrition Screening: Anthropometrics • Skinfold thickness • Measures percentage of body fat with the use of special calipers, at specified body locations • Desirable range men: 13-25 % • Desirable range women: 17-29 %

  22. Nutrition Screening: Biochemical • Laboratory values to assess malnutrition: • Serum Albumin • Serum Transferrin • Serum Prealbumin • Hemoglobin • Hematocrit

  23. Nutrition Screening: Diet • Diet History [Hx] • Assessment of food intake patterns • Describes actual food intake • Offers information about food preferences • May include factors regarding lifestyle, social factors, medical factors and conditions as well as medications

  24. Nutrition Screening: Initiative • Founded in 1989 • Developed a tool to identify nutrition risk factors in older adults: • DETERMINE- warning signs checklist

  25. Nutrition Screening: Calculations • Basal Energy Expenditure [BEE] • How much energy the body needs at complete rest: • Breathing, brain function, heartbeat • Differs between men and women • Accounts for two-thirds of daily needs

  26. Nutrition Screening: Calculations • Total Daily Expenditure [TDE] • Amount of estimated calories needed with an activity factor, and injury factor if needed, to maintain sound nutrition • Digesting food, moving and exercising, growing or healing, and fever

  27. Nutrition Screening: Calculations • Caloric needs estimate • Accounts for the total amount of calories needed for one day • Included factors to account for other energy needs • Activity factors • Injury factors “An estimate is only an estimate”

  28. Chapter 9 Calculating Nutrient Intake

  29. Calculating Nutrient Intake • Caloric Distribution • Describes what proportion of total calories come from each macronutrient and alcohol if applicable

  30. Calculating Nutrient Intake • Macronutrients providing calories: • CHO: 4 calories per gram • Protein: 4 calories per gram • Fat: 9 calories per gram • Alcohol: 7 calories per gram

  31. Calculating Nutrient Intake: Protein • Estimating Protein Needs • Healthy adult: 0.8 grams per kg • Malnourished client: 1.2-1.5 grams per kg • Following surgery: 1.0-2.0 grams per kg • Trauma, burns, fractures: 2.0 grams per kg

  32. Calculating Nutrient Intake • Sources of Nutrient Information • Bowes and Church’s: “Food Values of Portions Commonly Used” • USDA Nutrient Database • www.ars.usda.gov/main/site_mainhtm? modecode=12-35-45-00 • Nutrient Analysis Software

  33. Calculating Nutrient Intake: Nutrition Facts Labels • Nutrition Fact Label • Nutrition information on almost every food in the grocery store • Easy to read format • Information on amount of nutrients per serving • Standardized serving sizes • Nutrient reference values as percent daily values to fit into daily diet

  34. Calculating Nutrient Intake: Nutrition Label Facts • Nutrition Fact Label [cont] • Uniform definitions • Nutrition claims • Declaration of total percent of juice in juice drinks

  35. Calculating Nutrient Intake: Nutrition Label Facts • Daily Value [DV] • Generalized figures for nutrients that can be applied to healthy people as a single group • Daily Reference Values [DRV’s] • References used for fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates “fiber”, alcohols, protein, sodium, and potassium • Reference Daily Intakes [RDI’s] • References for essential vitamins and minerals

  36. Calculating Nutrient Intake: Fluids • Calculating Fluid Intake • Healthy Adults: 30-35cc per kg • Heart Failure: 25-30cc per kg • If BMI >30, use adjusted body weight (ABW) as fat does not hold water • ABW= CBW – IBW x .25 + IBW • ABW ÷ 2.2 x 30cc= estimated fluid intake for healthy adult

  37. Chapter 10 Interpreting Nutritional Data

  38. Interpreting Nutritional Data • Nutrition Related Information • Medical record • Direct observation • Interview • Nutrition care documents • Communication with the health care team

  39. Interpreting Nutritional Data • Food and Drug Interactions • Extent of interactions between food and drugs depends on: • Drug dosage • Individual age and size • Specific medical condition

  40. Interpreting Nutritional Data • Examples of Food/Drug Interactions • Tetracycline and dairy • Fosamax taken without food • Excessive consumption of foods high in Vitamin K hinders the effectiveness of anticoagulants • Potassium-sparing diuretics interacts with large quantities of potassium in the diet, causing irregular heartbeat

  41. Interpreting Nutritional Data • Comparing Nutrient Intake to Standards • Identify RDA’s for age/sex • Consider laboratory data, physician’s diagnosis, diet history, and food frequency • Consider intolerances to certain foods and be able to replace these foods with appropriate nutrients • Milk • Meat (chewing/swallowing difficulties)

  42. Interpreting Nutritional Data and Dietary Management • Factors to Provide Effective Dietary Care • Blood sugar levels • Blood pressure readings • Meal time observations – tolerance to intake • Weight, Percent body weight, and weight changes • Pressure Ulcers

  43. Interpreting Nutritional Data and Dietary Management • Factors to Provide Effective Dietary Care [cont] • Laboratory values • Clinical information • Calorie counts

  44. Chapter 11 Documenting Nutritional Data

  45. Documenting Nutritional Data • Purpose • Provides a reference that you and other caregivers use on an on-going basis • Communication tool with other members of the healthcare team • Required by government agencies • Lays the groundwork to receive reimbursement • Legal record • Quality standard • Resource to monitor quality of services

  46. Documenting Nutritional Data • Medical Records • Also known as the medical chart or “chart” • Formal, legal account of a patient’s health and disease includes test results, diagnosis, and treatment plans

  47. Documenting Nutritional Data • Problem Oriented Medical Record [POMR] • A system of collecting data and planning client care that focuses on the client’s problems, includes the following: • Collection of data • Problem list • Plans for addressing each problem • Evaluation of care plans

  48. Documenting Nutritional Data • Progress Note • Notation in the medical record by a health professional • Written at key intervals during the course of a patient’s stay at a healthcare institution • Notes in the chart are structured according t the SOAP method format Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan

  49. Documenting Nutritional Data • Rules for keeping good client records • Medical record is a legal document • Follow the rules per facility policy to prevent litigation • Used medical abbreviations per facility policy • Narrative documentation is usually used in long term care [LTC] facilities

  50. Documenting Nutritional Data: Meal Related Documents • Diet Order • Diet prescribed by the physician for a individual client • Written order by physician in the medical record of available diets per diet manual • Verbal orders are discouraged because they do not provide solid documentation
