NUR 101 NUTRITION
- continuous feedings
Answer provide a constant flow of formula and an even distribution of nutrition throughout the day
- pump-controlled infusions
Answer recommended for jejunal feedings and for gastrostomy feedings given by continuous infusion to decrease gastroesophageal reflux
- gravity feedings
Answer type of feeding schedule where you will regulate the drip rate by adjusting a clamp on the tubing. this type increases the risk of reflux, diarrhea, and aspriration
- cyclic feedings
Answer patient is able to eat meals and participate in activities through- out the day but receives an infusion of enteral formula at night while at rest
- intermittent feedings
Answer feedings are given on a regular or periodic basis several times a day, usually over 30-60 minutes
- bolus
Answer in this method of feedings, you use a syringe to deliver 300 to 400 mL of formula through the tube over a 5-10 minute period
- open system 1 / 3
Answer feeding is exposed to the environment.
- closed system
Answer feeding is prefilled and functions much like IV fluid
- parenteral nutrition
Answer delivery of nutrition intravenously into a large, central vein
- PN solutions
Answer contain concentration of dextrose in water, along with amino acids, vitamins, mineral, trace elements and can provide 20-30 kcal per kg/d. administered into a ventral venous access catheter
- lipid emulsions
Answer contain essential fatty acids, triglycerides, and supplemental kcal. administered weekly for patients who rely on PN to prevent essential fatty acid deficiency. they also add calories to PN thus reducing the risk of glucose fluctuations.
- macronutrients
Answer supply the body with energy (kcal)
- micronutrients
Answer help manufacture, repair, and maintain cells
