7 Setting and Focus of Care, cont’d
Nurses and dietitians provide essential support and personalized care. Registered dietitians (RDs) carry major responsibilities. A real partnership with patients and caretakers is essential to valid care. Nutrition care must be person centered. The dietitian plans, implements, and evaluates care. What is meant by “person-centered care”? Why is it important to involve the patient in nutrition care? Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.

8 Phases of the Care Process
Nutrition assessment Nutrition diagnosis Nutrition intervention Nutrition monitoring and evaluation What methods are used to collect nutrition information? Be sure to discuss the nurse’s role in each phase of the care process. The plan of care must be congruent with the patient’s wishes and must be effective. Evaluation should be ongoing.

9 Phases of the Care Process, cont’d
Nutrition assessment Anthropometric data Biochemical tests Diet evaluations Clinical observations Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.

10 Phases of the Care Process, cont’d
Nutrition assessment, cont’d Anthropometrics Age Gender Weight Height Body frame Body composition Why are these data important? Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.

11 Phases of the Care Process, cont’d
Nutrition assessment, cont’d Anthropometric measurements Weight Weigh patients at consistent times. Weigh patients without shoes in light indoor clothing. Ask about recent weight loss or gain. Height Use fixed measuring stick on wall or moveable measuring rod on platform clinic scale. Have patient stand as straight as possible with no shoes or cap. Weight and height are used to calculate body mass index. Accurate measurements are important in determining patient needs. Nurses must be vigilant in obtaining accurate weights.

12 Phases of the Care Process, cont’d
Nutrition assessment, cont’d Anthropometric measurements, cont’d Body composition Skinfold thickness measurement with calipers Hydrostatic weighing Bioelectrical impedance analysis Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry BOD POD body composition tracking system Body composition is important but often not used in hospitals. Laboratory tests can identify many chronic nutrition problems. Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.

Nutrition assessment, cont’d Biochemical tests Plasma protein Protein metabolism Immune system integrity Skeletal system integrity Gastrointestinal function What do protein tests indicate? Why is gastrointestinal function part of the nutrition assessment? Copyright © 2009, by Mosby, Inc. an affiliate of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.

15 Phases of the Care Process, cont’d
Nutrition assessment, cont’d Biochemical tests, cont’d Plasma protein Hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum albumin Help detect protein and iron deficiencies Protein metabolism Basic 24-hour urine tests Elevated levels may indicated excess breakdown of body tissue Immune system integrity Determine lymphocyte count These tests can be quite effective in identifying chronic problems.

17 Phases of the Care Process, cont’d
Nutrition assessment, cont’d Dietary evaluation History Usual intake, current intake, restrictions, modifications (use 24-hour recall and food diaries) Support system Nutrition supplements, vitamin or mineral supplements Food allergies, intolerances Activity level (average energy expended per day) What are the pros and cons of using a 24-hour recall? Explain that a sick patient often does not eat normally the day or two before entering the hospital, so it often is a good idea to ask what normal intake was before the sickness.
