  2. SCREENING • To determine nutritional health • Look for warning signs • Maintain optimal health of healthy persons • Identify risks to medical treatment and recovery

  3. SCHEMA

  4. INITIAL SCREEN

  5. ASSESSMENT • Identify stages in the development of deficiency disease • A = ANTHROPOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS • B = BIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS • C = CLINICAL INFORMATION • D = DIETARY INFORMATION • E = EVALUATION/ENVIRONMENT

  6. Deficiency stages

  7. stages

  8. ANTHROPOMETRIC MEASURE • Height • Weight • Percent of ideal body weight • Percent of usual body weight • Recent weight change – unplanned • 5% in 1 month • 10% in 6 months

  9. ANTHROPOMETRIC MEASURES • Fatfolds – TSF (total subcutaneous fat) and total body fat • MAC – midarm circumference-muscle mass and subcutaneous fat • MAMC – midarm muscle mass/circumerence, skeletal muscle • BIA – lean body mass

  10. BIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS

  11. CLINICAL ASSESSMENT • Look at the patient • Observe physical signs and symptoms of deficiencies and toxicities • Hair – PCM • Eyes – hyperlipidemia, vitamin deficiency • Tongue – B vitamin deficiency • Nails – protein and iron deficiency

  12. DIETARY INFORMATION • Nutrition history - • Special diet order – compliance • Relate diet to disease state • Appropriateness • Meeting nutritional needs • Food/drug interactions: antibiotics, anticonvulsants, etc.
