List the equation for calculating total energy expenditure (TEE) and describe each of the three basic components of the formula. ANSWER: The total amount of energy required by an individual is the sum of three basic components: basal energy expenditure (BEE) or basal metabolic rate (BMR) + energy for physical activity or exercise (PA) + thermic effect of food (TEF) = total energy expenditure (TEE). Basal energy expenditure refers to a measurement of oxygen consumed by a patient who has gone without food for at least 12 hours and has been lying down with little movement in a constant-temperature environment overnight. Physical activity (PA) is the most variable portion of an individual’s energy needs and fluctuates depending on the type, duration, and intensity of physical activity. TEF is estimated to be approximately 10% of an individual’s caloric intake and represents the energy needed for absorption, transport, and metabolism of nutrients.

The clinician then identifies the most appropriate type of formula based on the patient’s diagnosis. Total energy needs are calculated and then divided by the caloric density of the formula. To determine the goal rate of administration, the clinician divides the total formula volume by the number of hours administered. The starting rate may be lower and then the rate advanced as tolerated to reach the goal rate. DIFFICULTY: Bloom's: Apply REFERENCES: Enteral Nutrition 74.

Chapter 05 - Enteral and Parental Nutrition Support DIFFICULTY: Bloom's: Apply REFERENCES: Parenteral Nutrition 76. Describe the procedure for inserting a nasogastric feeding tube. ANSWER: Registered dietitians (RDs) may be responsible for insertion of nasogastric or nasointestinal feeding tubes for adults in some institutions. A recent review of this practice found a 66% reduction of hospital costs associated with tube insertion along with a shorter time for insertion and a shorter time for feeding initiation in institutions where the RD is responsible for bedside placement of postpyloric feeding tubes. Box 5.3 summarizes the protocol for the insertion of tubes in adults. (See the ―Equipment‖ section later in the chapter for more information about the tubes and other supplies involved.) DIFFICULTY: Bloom's: Apply REFERENCES: Enteral Nutrition 77. Describe indications, advantages, and disadvantages of the following types of enteral feeding tubes: nasogastric tubes, orogastric tubes, gastrostomy tubes, PEG tubes. ANSWER: Nasogastric tubes are indicated in cases of normal GI function; they stimulate digestive function, are easy to insert and maintain, and they allow for medication administration. Disadvantages of nasogastric tubes include patient discomfort, increased risk of aspiration, irritation of the nasal passages, and the potential for tube displacement. Orogastric tubes are used with normal GI function but when a nasogastric tube is not feasible. Advantages include normal stimulation of gut function, they are easy to insert and maintain, and medications can be placed in the tube. Disadvantages include tube displacement, increased risk of aspiration, and discomfort for the patient. Gastrostomy and PEG tubes bypass the upper GI tract and are used for long-term feedings. Gastrostomy tubes allow for boluses, they are used long term, and there is less risk of aspiration or tube displacement, but they require surgery for placement and the patient can develop skin irritation at the insertion site. PEG tubes can be inserted on an outpatient basis, they allow for bolus feedings, and there is little risk of tube displacement but there is a greater risk of skin irritation at the insertion site. DIFFICULTY: Bloom's: Analyze REFERENCES: Enteral Nutrition 78. List and describe four examples of complications associated with enteral feedings. ANSWER: Enteral feeding is not a simple procedure. Patients who receive enteral feedings may experience a variety of complications, and some of these—such as aspiration or tube misplacement—are serious. Complications of enteral feedings may develop at any point during a course of therapy. High-risk patients who have concurrent illnesses require an experienced dietitian to successfully manage enteral feedings. Information about the tube-related and gastrointestinal complications, as well as other issues, can be found in the section Monitoring and Evaluation: Complications. DIFFICULTY: Bloom's: Apply REFERENCES: Enteral Nutrition 79. Explain indications for using parenteral nutrition and list several conditions that would require parenteral nutrition instead of enteral nutrition. ANSWER: Parenteral nutrition is indicated in those clinical situations where the patient is unable to meet nutritional needs either by an oral diet or through the use of enteral nutrition. The clinical conditions that may require parenteral nutrition include an inability to digest and absorb nutrients, such as in massive bowel resection or short bowel syndrome; intractable vomiting, as in hyperemesis gravidarum; GI tract obstruction;impaired GI motility; and abdominal trauma, injury, or infection. Nutrition diagnoses associated with candidates for PN are the same as those for EN. DIFFICULTY: Bloom's: Analyze REFERENCES: Parenteral Nutrition Copyright Cengage Learning. Powered by Cognero.

Chapter 05 - Enteral and Parental Nutrition Support 80. Describe the use of a pharmacy compounder with the nutrition prescription and list advantages as well as disadvantages. ANSWER: Automated compounders can be used to manufacture nutrient solutions that combine dextrose and amino acids (two-in-one formulas) or dextrose, amino acids, and lipids (three-in-one formulas). PN can be provided in either a two-in-one or three-in-one system, and each system has both advantages and disadvantages. In the two-in-one, lipids are added separately based on the available container sizes (100 mL, 250 mL, or 500 mL). This system provides a greater degree of flexibility in the amounts of dextrose and amino acids that can be given. A disadvantage of the two-in-one system is the need for an additional administration set (intravenous tubing and other devices required for the delivery of parenteral nutrition) for the lipids. The three-in-one system requires a single administration set, which saves nursing time and reduces costs. On the other hand, the addition of lipids with the three-in-one system results in an opaque solution, which obscures precipitate and increases the risk of particulate being infused into the patient. Addition of lipid into the three-in-one solution limits the electrolytes and final concentration of amino acids in solution. DIFFICULTY: Bloom's: Analyze REFERENCES: Parenteral Nutrition

ANSWER: Charting by exception (CBE) is an abbreviated approach to medical charting that involves recording only unusual or out-of-the-ordinary events. The CBE format includes a standardized nutritional care plan. After the initial charting of the care plan, only significant data and/or unanticipated responses to the proposed plan should be included in the record. In most CBE formats, a flowchart is used to document assessments and interventions. An asterisk (*) indicates an abnormal finding on an assessment or an abnormal response to an intervention. The findings are explained in the comments section of the form. An example of CBE might be documenting on a patient who has been vomiting; the dietitian fills out the flow chart and then writes an asterisk in the GI section. In the notes, the dietitian may then write: * “Pt. has vomited three times this morning…” and go on to explain the cause and effects of the situation.

Describe the importance of developing a personal medical notebook and note its use, advantages, and disadvantages. ANSWER: Health professionals should consider keeping a personal medical notebook where they can chart everything involved with each patient’s treatment, where they can brainstorm problems, and where they can include their subjective experiences and express their own emotional and intellectual responses. A personal notebook may help the dietitian to cope with some stress and anxiety of the job as well as remember important information that needs to be included when charting. A disadvantage is that the notebook may contain personal information and the clinician must keep it safe to protect patient confidentiality. DIFFICULTY: Bloom's: Analyze REFERENCES: Charting: Documentation of the Nutrition Care Process 78. Describe the parameters of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996. ANSWER: The federal U.S. law that assures patients of the confidentiality of their medical information is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. HIPAA protects information about clients that is gathered by examination, observation, conversation, or treatment. A dietitian cannot discuss a client’s status with other clients or staff who are uninvolved in the client’s care. A legal suit can be brought against a dietitian who has disclosed information about clients without their consent. Dietitians and other health care professionals use records not only to provide care for individual patients, but also as an information source for continuous quality improvement, data gathering, research, or continuing education. This is not a breach of confidentiality as long as the records are used as specified and permission is granted from the institution’s internal review board.

Chapter 06 - Documentation of the Nutrition Care Process ANSWER:
Prewriting is whatever it is that the writer does before actually writing. For longer pieces of writing, successful writers tend to spend time planning a text before beginning to write it. They develop their ideas about the subject matter and identify their purpose and audience. They produce a rough plan for how the text is to be organized. Drafting, or actual sentence generation involves setting goals and subgoals and recalibrating one’s thinking as more and more text is produced. In addition to revising while drafting, successful writers virtually always make revisions to their text after it has been completely drafted. Successful writers then spend time making minor corrections at the sentence and subsentence levels of discourse. This is when proofreading takes place; these writers make their changes based on errors they identify during the proofing of their manuscripts. DIFFICULTY: Bloom's: Apply REFERENCES: Beyond Charting: An Overview of Writing in the Profession 80. Discuss possible options for research and publication for the nutrition professional beyond writing patient instructions. ANSWER: There are a number of options for research and publication for the dietetics professional. The dietitian may want to do original research and report the findings of that research either in professional journals and books or at professional conferences. Reporting research results is considerably more formal than writing instructions for patients, in the sense that there are certain organizational and stylistic conventions that must be adopted when reporting research. Other ideas and options include dietetic teaching and medical journalism. DIFFICULTY: Bloom's: Analyze REFERENCES: Beyond Charting: An Overview of Writing in the Profession

Page 14
Chapter 07 - Fluid and Electrolyte Balance ANSWER:
Cellular sensors within the interstitial fluid are affected by changes in the fluid around them. They trigger the hypothalamus to interpret these signals as thirst and as a result, the individual will be stimulated to increase his or her fluid intake. This thirst mechanism cannot always be relied on, however. In older adults, thirst sensation decreases. In the trained, elite athlete, thirst sensation may not be a valid indication of need for additional fluid. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s: Apply REFERENCES: Physiological Regulation of Fluid and Electrolytes 79. Describe the clinical manifestations of hyponatremia. ANSWER: Often, clinical manifestations of hyponatremia do not appear until levels of sodium fall below 120 mEq/L. Signs and symptoms that do occur are consistent with changes in osmolality. As serum osmolality falls, water enters the brain cells. Nausea, vomiting, lethargy, confusion, and even seizures can result. All signs and symptoms are more pronounced if hyponatremia occurs rapidly. Laboratory measurements will confirm a serum sodium of <136 mEq/L. Plasma osmolality will be <285 mOsm/kg. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s: Apply REFERENCES: Disorders of Fluid Balance 80. Describe the treatment for hyperkalemia. ANSWER: Treatment of the underlying cause is crucial in correcting hyperkalemia. In a short-term emergency situation, calcium gluconate can be given intravenously to decrease the abnormalities in cardiac cells that could lead to cardiac arrest. Additionally, both glucose and insulin can be used to shift potassium from the ECF to the ICF. Correction of any acid-base imbalance also results in potassium movement into the ICF. Cation exchange resins such as Kayexalate can be given to allow the exchange of sodium for potassium in the large intestine. For long-term treatment, dialysis and a potassium-restricted diet are primary interventions to control hyperkalemia. It is also crucial to prevent malnutrition through adequate nutrition support.

Chapter 08 - Acid Base Balance amount and provides the major source of H+. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s: Apply REFERENCES: Basic Concepts: Acids, Bases, and Buffers 77. Explain the pH scale. ANSWER: The unit for measuring relative acidity or alkalinity of a fluid is called pH. Simply stated, pH is the ratio of acids to bases. Hydrogen ion concentration (H+) is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ions in solution. Because the scale of H+ is logarithmic, in order for the pH to change by one unit (e.g., changing from 3 to 4), there must be a 10-fold change in H+. The pH of a substance is measured in a range from 1 to 14. A 1 on the pH scale indicates the most acidic, and 14 indicates the most alkaline. Water is considered neutral at 7.0. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s: Apply REFERENCES: Basic Concepts: Acids, Bases, and Buffers 78. Discuss the effect of acid and base shifts on electrolyte balance. ANSWER: Hydrogen ions and bicarbonate are both electrolytes. Acid-base changes will therefore affect concentrations of other electrolytes in both ECF and intracellular fluid (ICF). For example, movement of HCO3- to the plasma requires the exchange of another negatively charged ion so that electroneutrality is maintained. Chloride is the ion that moves in the opposite direction of HCO3-. Changes in potassium, chloride, and sodium may accompany acid-base disorders. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s: Apply REFERENCES: Regulation of Acid-Base Balance 79. Describe the clinical manifestations of respiratory acidosis. ANSWER: Laboratory values in acute respiratory failure will indicate a decreased pH and an elevated pCO2. Bicarbonate levels will be slightly elevated if renal compensation has begun. Compensatory mechanisms or secondary responses allow the pH to remain normal but serum bicarbonate and arterial pCO2 are elevated. Serum electrolytes will show an increase in serum Ca+, K+, and possibly Cl- due to changes in renal controls. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s: Apply REFERENCES: Acid-Base Disorders 80. Discuss the etiology of metabolic alkalosis. ANSWER: Clinical situations resulting in alkalosis can be categorized as either those conditions involving fluid imbalance (alkalosis with volume decrease) or those without fluid imbalances (alkalosis without volume contraction). Conditions that involve fluid imbalance include prolonged vomiting and/or nasogastric suction or use of diuretics. Conditions leading to alkalosis that do not involve fluid imbalance would include hyperaldosteronism, excessive use of corticosteroids, blood transfusions, chronic use of antacids, and excessive administration of sodium bicarbonate.

DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s: Apply REFERENCES: Foundations of the Immune System 78. Explain the innate immune response. ANSWER: Cells of the innate immune system (macrophages, monocytes, natural killer cells, and leukocytes) react with any antigen; they can thus react immediately. Innate immunity involves inflammation, interferon, natural killer cells, and complement. This initial innate immune response is quite often sufficient to eliminate the pathogen or reduce its numbers enough to prevent initiation of a disease process. This type of immune response does not increase or improve with repeated exposures. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s: Apply REFERENCES: The Immune Response 79. Describe active immunization. ANSWER: In active immunization, the individual is exposed to an antigen in a harmless form and produces antibodies as well as activated T and B cells and memory cells. The memory immune response, initiated upon exposure to the pathogen or a booster, prevents infection and provides additional antibodies and memory cells. In some cases, such as influenza, the residual antibodies are more important than the memory response due to the short incubation period of the disease, and more frequent vaccinations are often required to maintain the antibody level.

Discuss what happens after transcription is complete. ANSWER: Once transcription is complete, mRNA undergoes post-transcriptional processing. Enzymes in the nucleus excise segments of the mRNA known as introns, while leaving the segments known as exons. Thus, only exons are ultimately translated into the final protein product. While DNA remains in the nucleus, the messenger RNA carries the code out of the nucleus into the cytosol, where ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum are prepared for protein assembly.

ANSWER: Obesity has a clear link to genetics, demonstrated by numerous studies showing that obesity does persist in families even where food intake and physical activity patterns differ. However, the escalating obesity epidemic in recent decades supports the idea that, while susceptibility to obesity is genetically and epigenetically determined, the development of obesity itself is the result of a susceptible genome in the presence of a conducive environment. In other words, placing susceptible individuals in an obesigenic environment -- one characterized by plentiful energy-dense, high-fat foods and technological advances requiring little in the way of physical activity -- results in obesity.

ANSWER: The role of nutrition therapy in pharmacotherapy is to highlight the effect of nutrition on the action of the prescribed medication or the effect of the medication on an aspect of nutrition. Drug–nutrient interactions are undesirable/harmful interaction(s) between food and over-the-counter medications, prescribed medications, herbals, botanicals, and/or dietary supplements that diminishes, enhances, or alters effect of nutrients and/or medications. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics emphasizes a collaborative model of health care that allows maximum benefit from the use of both pharmacotherapy and nutrition therapy.

Describe the different routes the body uses to excrete drugs. Give an example of a consequence of a specific route of excretion. ANSWER: Most drugs are removed by either urinary or biliary excretion, but some can be excreted via the lungs, bowel, and/or glands, depending on the chemical structure of the metabolite. Some drugs can be excreted in breast milk, which means that a nursing infant will be exposed to them. In addition, patients who are taking drugs excreted via the salivary glands may complain of taste changes. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s: Apply REFERENCES: Pharmacokinetics 78. Describe factors that affect drug dissolution. ANSWER: The pH of the stomach and the gastric emptying rate are two of the most important nutrition-related factors impacting drug dissolution. Medications may require an acidic environment for dissolution. Achlorhydria, which is decreased production of hydrochloric acid, occurs in aging as well as some medical conditions such as HIV and AIDS. Medications that could affect gastric acidity include H2 blockers, proton-pump inhibitors, and antacids. Gastric emptying rate influences the amount of time in which dissolution can occur; medications that affect gastric emptying time include prokinetics, such as metoclopramide. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s: Apply REFERENCES: How Foods and Drugs Interact 79. Give an example of the effect of drugs on nutrient metabolism. ANSWER: Drugs can interfere with macronutrient, vitamin, and mineral metabolism. For example, corticosteroids increase the rate of gluconeogenesis, resulting in hyperglycemia and increased nitrogen loss. Numerous medications interfere with vitamin and mineral metabolism. Phenytoin (Dilantin), used for treatment of seizures, inhibits both vitamin D and folate metabolism. Long-term use may result in megaloblastic anemia secondary to folate deficiency.

Chapter 11 - Pharmacology REFERENCES: How Foods and Drugs Interact 80. Discuss the drug-nutrient interactions in the elderly. ANSWER: The older adult population represents one group with an exceptionally high risk for drug–nutrient interactions. There are several reasons. First, older individuals generally have the highest rate of chronic disease and are therefore prescribed the largest number of medications; this sheer volume increases risk. Furthermore, the use of over-the-counter and complementary medications compounds the incidence of interactions. In addition, drug pharmacokinetics is affected by physiological changes that occur with aging. Decreased muscle mass and impaired cardiac, liver, and renal function all are common in older adults and can change how a drug is absorbed, metabolized, and excreted. Finally, compliance with drug regimens can be an important issue for this population. Financial burdens, complex regimens, or lack of proper drug education can lead to inappropriate drug dosing.

Define and discuss the role of adipocytes in the body in relation to their storage capacities and metabolic activity. ANSWER: The adipocyte is a large, rounded cell primarily filled with a droplet of triglyceride. The adipocyte is metabolically active in the uptake, synthesis, storage, and mobilization of triglycerides. There is a constant turnover of triglycerides in the adipocyte as new triglycerides are synthesized and stored and older triglycerides are hydrolyzed and released from the adipocyte into the circulation. Research has shown the adipocyte to be a metabolically active endocrine cell releasing numerous hormones involved in regulating appetite, energy balance, body fat content, and reproduction. In addition, adipocytes release numerous molecules that influence blood pressure, blood coagulation, insulin sensitivity, lipid oxidation, and serum lipid levels.

List the two different types of body fat distribution, their characteristics, and the risks of complications associated with each. ANSWER: Abdominal or central fat placement refers to fat located primarily within the abdominal region of the body, both surrounding the organs of the abdomen and located just under the skin around the waist. Abdominal fat distribution is more often seen in males, tends to give the body a shape resembling that of an apple, and is sometimes referred to as android. Lower body fat placement refers to fat located primarily in the lower region of the body, and tends to give the body a shape resembling a pear. Lower body fat distribution is more often seen in females and is sometimes referred to as gynoid. Abdominal obesity is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease, and metabolic syndrome. Adipose tissue located within the lower body is inversely related to cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. DIFFICULTY: Bloom's: Apply REFERENCES: Overweight and Obesity 78. Discuss the physiological consequences of obesity in the following areas: type 2 diabetes, hepatobiliary disorders, cancer, reproductive disorders. ANSWER: Type 2 diabetes is three times as prevalent among the obese as compared with normal-weight persons. Excess body fat, especially if located within the abdominal region, elevates fasting and post-prandial levels of plasma free fatty acids and is a major risk factor for metabolic syndrome. The risk of gallstones increases with adult weight. Central or abdominal obesity is a major risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Although generally asymptomatic, NAFLD can range from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and eventual liver failure. Studies have confirmed that obesity is a significant risk factor for death from cancer generally and from cancer in several specific sites. Obesity in males is associated with increased death from cancer of the esophagus, rectum, pancreas, liver, and prostate. In females, obesity increases risk of death from cancer of the gallbladder, bile duct, breast, endometrium, cervix, and ovaries. Obesity is associated with reproductive disorders in both sexes. In males, obesity is associated with gynecomastia, hypogonadism, reduced testosterone levels, and elevated estrogen levels. In females, it is associated with menstrual abnormalities and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). DIFFICULTY: Bloom's: Analyze REFERENCES: Overweight and Obesity 79.

Chapter 12 - Diseases and Disorders of Energy Imbalance ANSWER:
In laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), an inflatable silicone ring is secured around the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch with a narrow opening at the bottom. The pouch restricts the amount of food that can be consumed at one time. LAGB is the simplest and least invasive because it does not require any stapling of the stomach, but those receiving LAGB lose weight at a slower rate. In laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy, (LVSG), up to 85% of the stomach is surgically removed, leaving a narrow, tubular, banana-shaped portion of the stomach between the esophagus and the duodenum. Because the detached section of the stomach is primarily responsible for the production of the hormone ghrelin, weight loss is further enhanced by the markedly lower serum levels of ghrelin seen in patients who have had LVSG. The Roux-en-Y procedure creates a small pouch at the top of the stomach, restricting food intake and quickly inducing satiety. The jejunum is cut and the distal end (“roux limb”) is surgically connected to the pouch. The Roux-en-Y is the most common bariatric surgery and is highly effective and long lasting. The duodenal switch with biliopancreatic diversion (DS-BPD) is the most complicated and the least frequently performed, but also results in the greatest amount of weight loss. The first part of the procedure is a laparoscopically performed vertical sleeve gastrectomy; the second stage reroutes food from the stomach past most of the small intestine. DIFFICULTY: Bloom's: Apply REFERENCES: Overweight and Obesity 80. Describe the behavioral manifestations associated with each of the following: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder. ANSWER: Anorexia nervosa is characterized by excessive dieting, severe weight loss, and distorted body image with a pathological fear of being fat. Fear of gaining weight or becoming fat is an important criterion, as is persistent behavior that interferes with weight gain; another key criterion is “restriction of energy intake relative to requirements leading to a significantly low body weight (less than minimally normal or less than that expected).”Bulimia nervosa is characterized by frequent episodes of binge eating followed by inappropriate behaviors such as self-induced vomiting to avoid weight gain. Binge eating disorder is defined as recurring episodes of eating significantly more food in a short period of time than most people would eat, with episodes marked by feelings of lack of control.

Describe each of the components of nutrition intervention for heart failure, including sodium restriction, energy and protein requirements, fluid intake, and drug-nutrient interactions. ANSWER: A 2000-mg sodium diet is a standard initial recommendation for individuals with HF. Adjustments to levels of 2000 mg, 1000 mg, or 500 mg may be prescribed depending on the patient’s individual medical condition—specifically, fluid and volume states as well as overall oral intake. Energy needs should be determined by indirect calorimetry. Daily protein intake should be 1.13 g/kg of body weight for patients in a nourished state or 1.37 g/kg for those in a stable malnourished state. Fluid requirements are typically calculated at 1mL/kcal or 35 mL/kg. For HF, fluid is restricted to less than 2000 mL/day for a serum sodium below 130 mEq/L. The use of multiple diuretics in the medical treatment of HF may lead to losses of multiple water-soluble nutrients, including potassium, magnesium, thiamin, riboflavin, folate, and vitamin B12.

Describe the process of swallowing as food moves from the oral cavity to the stomach; include the processes of the four phases of swallowing. ANSWER: The first phase is the oral preparatory phase where food is chewed and mixed with saliva. The second phase, the oral transit phase, consists of voluntary movement of the bolus of food from the front of the oral cavity to the back. The third phase of swallowing is known as the pharyngeal phase. The most important part of this phase is to ensure the bolus is directed into the esophagus and is prevented from entering the trachea. This is initially accomplished when the uvula seals off the nasal passage so food does not leak into the nose. Next, laryngeal muscles contract and seal off the glottis. The epiglottis also tilts upward to assist in preventing food from entering the larynx. The final phase of swallowing is the esophageal phase. The upper esophageal sphincter (UES), when open, allows the bolus to enter the esophagus. When the sphincter is closed, it prevents air from entering the GI tract during breathing. After the bolus of food moves through the UES into the esophagus, the sphincter closes and normal breathing will resume.

DIFFICULTY: Bloom's: Apply REFERENCES: Pathophysiology of the Lower Gastrointestinal Tract 76. Describe the process of lipid digestion and absorption in the small intestine. ANSWER: Dietary fat in the form of large fat globules composed of triglycerides is emulsified by the detergent action of bile salts into a suspension of smaller fat droplets. This lipid emulsion prevents the fat droplets from coalescing and thereby increases the surface area available for attack by pancreatic lipase. Lipase hydrolyzes the triglycerides into monoglycerides and free fatty acids. These water-insoluble products are carried to the luminal surface of the small-intestine epithelial cells within water-soluble micelles, which are formed by bile salts and other bile constituents. When a micelle approaches the absorptive epithelial surface, the monoglycerides and fatty acids leave the micelle and passively diffuse through the lipid bilayer of the luminal membranes.

ANSWER: Inflammatory bowel disease is characterized as an autoimmune, chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. IBD is actually the general term for either of two diagnoses: ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease. Patients with UC present with signs and symptoms including abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, and tenesmus. Patients with severe disease often are febrile, are tachycardic, and have diarrhea that contains pus and mucus. Patients with Crohn’s disease experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, and tenesmus. They are much less likely to have blood in their stool but usually experience more abdominal pain and cramping than patients with UC. Treatments for both UC and Crohn’s disease include anti-inflammatory medications, antibiotics, immunosuppressive medications, immunomodulators, and biologic therapies as well as surgical intervention.

Briefly describe the three major hypotheses that explain the impairment of neurotransmission involved with hepatic encephalopathy. Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a syndrome of impaired mental status and abnormal neuromuscular ANSWER: function that results from liver failure. The ammonia hypothesis states that liver disease interferes with ammonia detoxification and shifts ammonia metabolism to skeletal muscle, where it is used in the conversion of glutamate to glutamine. Ammonia levels increase in the blood and the brain because of Copyright Cengage Learning. Powered by Cognero.

Chapter 16 - Diseases of the Liver - Gallbladder - and Exocrine Pancreas muscle wasting. The ammonia is detoxified via the conversion of glutamate to glutamine; the depletion of glutamate and accumulation of glutamine in the brain contributes to hepatic encephalopathy. The synergistic neurotoxin hypothesis proposes that neurotoxins, many of which are produced by intestinal bacteria, are involved in hepatic encephalopathy. Hyperammonemia is thought to stimulate glucagon secretion and enhance gluconeogenesis from amino acids. The resulting hyperglycemia stimulates hyperinsulinemia, enhancing the uptake of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) by muscle and lowering the plasma levels of BCAA relative to aromatic amino acids (AAA) that accumulate in the brain. The subsequent rise in tryptophan level leads to the formation of the inhibitory neurotransmitter serotonin, and the raised phenylalanine level leads to the inhibition of dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) production and formation of so-called “false neurotransmitters.” The false neurotransmitter hypothesis suggests that these false transmitters may displace catecholamines from their receptors.

Describe the differences between hepatitis A, B, and C, including their methods of transmission, clinical manifestations, and modes of treatment. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver caused by a virus, bacteria, toxins, obstruction, parasites, or ANSWER: chemicals. Hepatitis A is generally transmitted via the oral-fecal route. Sources of contamination include drinking water, food, and sewage. Symptoms are typically nausea, vomiting and fatigue. There are no special treatments for hepatitis A except rest, adequate nutrition, and fluids. Hepatitis B (HBV) is transmitted through transfusions of blood or through improperly sterilized medical instruments or other skin-puncturing instruments that have come in contact with contaminated blood. Acute hepatitis B virus infection is a short-term illness, much like HAV infection. Chronic hepatitis B may cause cirrhosis or liver cancer. For acute infection, no medication is available; treatment is supportive, much like that for HAV. For chronic infection, two oral medications, tenofovir and entecavir, and an injected drug, pegylated interferon, are considered first-line options. Hepatitis C (HCV) transmission occurs when an individual is exposed to blood or body fluids from an infected person. Hepatitis C is often asymptomatic but may cause jaundice, abdominal pain, dark urine, and fatigue. The therapy for chronic hepatitis C has become more effective over the 10 years since alpha interferon was first approved for use. Recently, a new oral, non-interferon medication, sofosbuvir, was approved by the FDA for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C.

Alcohol often replaces food in the diet. Though it is possible to meet maintenance energy needs from ANSWER: the energy in the alcohol consumed, malnourishment results because of an inadequate intake of nutrients; though high in calories, alcohol contains no protein, vitamins, or minerals. Alcohol is also preferentially metabolized over whatever nutrients are obtained through food. Alcohol causes inflammation of the stomach, pancreas, and intestine, interfering with the normal processes of digestion and absorption and resulting in secondary malnutrition. The subsequent decrease in pancreatic enzyme secretion, intestinal transporters, and micelle formation results in altered absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, thiamin, and folic acid. The metabolism of alcohol increases the need for certain nutrients, particularly the B vitamins and magnesium. Alcohol causes increased urinary excretion of folate and pyridoxine (B6), as well as increased retinoid metabolism. DIFFICULTY: Bloom's: Analyze REFERENCES: Pathophysiology of the Liver 77.

Chapter 16 - Diseases of the Liver - Gallbladder - and Exocrine Pancreas thiamin uptake and other aspects of thiamin utilization, and these effects may contribute to the prevalence of thiamin deficiency in alcoholics. The major manifestations of thiamin deficiency in humans involve the cardiovascular and nervous systems. The Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is characterized by weakness of eye movements, gait disturbance (ataxia), and confusion. Korsakoff’s psychosis is characterized initially by anterograde amnesia, retrograde amnesia to a lesser extent, a disordered time sense, and often confabulation of the acute senses. Cognitive deficits have also been observed. Ophthalmoplegia in Wernicke’s encephalopathy responds rapidly to thiamin administration, while the ataxia and confusion respond more slowly. The rapidity of response depends on the conversion of thiamin to its active form in the liver; patients with advanced liver disease such as cirrhosis may therefore have a delayed response.

Describe the differences between acute and chronic pancreatitis, including causes, manifestations, and nutrition intervention. Pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas, can be either acute or chronic. The disease is ANSWER: characterized by edema, autodigestion, fat necrosis, and hemorrhage of pancreatic tissue. Acute pancreatitis causes nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, and steatorrhea. The exact mechanisms that lead to pancreatic injury are not fully understood. However, a common characteristic seems to be premature activation of trypsin within the pancreas, resulting in autodigestion of the pancreatic cells. For the mild form of acute pancreatitis, research supports feeding patients without delay, as tolerated. Research indicates that a low-fat solid diet is tolerated as well as a clear liquid diet. Chronic pancreatitis is a chronic, irreversible inflammatory condition that leads to fibrosis with tissue calcification. Signs and symptoms include chronic abdominal pain and normal or mildly elevated pancreatic enzyme levels. If the pancreas loses its endocrine and exocrine functions, weight loss, malnutrition, and/or steatorrhea will be present. For chronic pancreatitis, the nutritional status of the patient will depend on the underlying etiology of the disease and level of endocrine and exocrine function.

ANSWER: Since dialysis therapy requires access to the circulatory system, patients receiving hemodialysis need to undergo a procedure that allows continual access to the bloodstream. Dialysis access is usually a permanent access site called an arteriovenous fistula (AVF), created surgically by fashioning in the forearm a subcutaneous joining of the radial artery and the cephalic vein or a tunneled catheter. If the patient’s veins are not adequate for this procedure, an arteriovenous graft (AVG) can be created with a catheter. The AV fistula requires 4-6 weeks to become fully functional. A subclavian port is used temporarily if HD is required before the AV fistula is ready for use. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s: Apply REFERENCES: Chronic Kidney Disease 78.

ANSWER: Immunosuppressant medications such as corticosteroids, cyclosporine, mycophenolate and tacrolimus are used to prevent acute rejection and maintain long-term survival of the transplanted kidney. Multiple drugs are used in an attempt to lower levels of certain agents and decrease unwanted side effects. Some foods may alter the action and/or effectiveness of these immunosuppressants. Patients are provided detailed instructions on when to take their medications in order to guarantee adequate drug absorption. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice enhance the bioavailability of tacrolimus and cyclosporine. Consequently, patients are advised to avoid these foods while taking these agents. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s: Apply REFERENCES: Nutrition Therapy for Chronic Kidney Disease 80. Discuss the etiology of acute kidney injury. ANSWER: Acute kidney injury is classified based on etiology as pre-renal, intrinsic, or post-renal. Pre-renal AKI results from conditions that reduce perfusion and cause ischemic damage to the kidney. Potential causes include severe dehydration, circulatory collapse, or fluid losses from the GI tract or from extensive wounds. Intrinsic (parenchymal) AKI refers to damage within the kidney cells. This could occur after exposure to toxins such as antibiotics, chemotherapy, or contrast dyes, or with systemic inflammatory conditions such as sepsis. Other causes of intrinsic AKI include acute infections such as glomerulonephritis or inflammation from conditions such as Sgöjren’s syndrome. Post-renal (obstructive) AKI results from a blockage of the ureter or neck of the bladder. Possible causes of obstruction include kidney stones, blood clots, and tumors.

Describe how iron-deficiency anemia and impaired thyroid function are related. ANSWER: Worldwide, thyroid impairment occurs alongside iron-deficiency anemia. Intakes of both and iodine among low-income persons isolated from coastal waters rich in these minerals are usually poor. Iron deficiency also disrupts thyroid peroxidase, contributing to adverse effects. Iron is an important cofactor for energy regulation, thermoregulation (control of body temperature), and metabolic rate, and thus exerts depressive systemic effects when deficient. Thermoregulation, metabolism, and thyroid function are intertwined; they are dependent on iodine, iron, and selenium, another important component of deiodinase enzymes in thyroxine metabolism. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s: Apply REFERENCES: Nutritional Anemias 79. Discuss how the feedback mechanism for iron absorption is altered in iron-deficiency anemia. ANSWER: Persons with uncomplicated deficiencies of iron already have up-regulated proteins for enhancing iron absorption from the digestive tract. One such protein (hepcidin) communicates iron status and erythropoietic demands to the small intestine and modulates absorption. This feedback mechanism allows deficient individuals to enhance their absorption of available heme and non-heme iron. Irondeficiency anemia can be corrected through continued iron-dense, nutrient-dense dietary intake, supplementation, and correction of any underlying conditions that may be contributing to the deficit. Increasing the nutrient density of foods over the long term is the best strategy. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s: Apply REFERENCES: Nutritional Anemias 80. Define sickle cell anemia and describe the role of nutrition therapy in sickle cell anemia. ANSWER: Sickle cell anemia is the most common structural hemoglobinopathy, defined as homozygous abnormal hemoglobin polymerization resulting in a sickling of RBCs in symptomatic individuals. The crescentshaped cell morphology is obvious when stained and magnified. Nutrition therapy for an acute sickle cell crisis should include increased macronutrients because this condition increases energy expenditure, protein and bone turnover, risk of pulmonary disease, chronic inflammation, frequency of infections, and cardiac output.

Describe how a neuron passes its message on to another neuron and how this model ensures specificity. ANSWER: A neuron passes its message on to another neuron by releasing chemical neurotransmitters into the space between the two neurons, called the synapse. A presynaptic neuron sends the specific information, or impulse, and a postsynaptic neuron receives it. A neurotransmitter can stimulate a postsynaptic neuron only at specific receptor sites on its dendrites and soma. Receptor sites respond to only one type of Copyright Cengage Learning.

ANSWER: Prevention of stroke through lifestyle changes and use of medications to lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and thereby minimize atherosclerosis, is an important measure. Aspirin, warfarin, and other anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications can also reduce risk of ischemic stroke in those at risk. However, when prevention fails, other measures must be taken quickly for optimal outcome. The longer the blood supply to the brain is impaired, the more extensive the damage. Thus, the first priority in acute care following ischemic stroke is to eliminate the clot and restore blood flow. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Stroke and Aneurysm 78. Discuss the etiology and pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD). ANSWER: The etiology of PD remains unclear, but proposed contributing factors include genetics, environmental toxins, prions (protein malformations), oxidative stress, imbalance of neurotransmitters leading to excitotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, loss of ability to reproduce dopamine-producing cells (including the loss that occurs with aging), abnormal inflammatory response within certain cells of the brain, improper response to dopamine within the brain, and increased rate of cell death. Twin and family studies indicate that genetics may certainly contribute to early-onset Parkinson’s, but genetic testing is not currently routine and is used only in research settings. Over 16 mutations have been noted on multiple chromosomes that are linked to PD. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Progressive Neurological Disorders 79. Explain the clinical manifestations of ALS. ANSWER: Classic signs and symptoms of ALS include asymmetric muscle weakness and atrophy, hyperreflexia (hyper-stiffening of the muscles), and fasciculations (uncontrolled twitching of the muscles). The manner in which these signs and symptoms manifest in the patient depend on the area of neuron destruction. There may be difficulty with gross motor actions such as walking, or in fine motor actions such as grasping an object. Swallowing and chewing skills decline as the neurons controlling these skills weaken. As the disease progresses, the extensive muscle atrophy lead to increasing paralysis, requiring mechanical ventilation and nutrition support. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Progressive Neurological Disorders 80. Describe the pathophysiology of primary and secondary traumatic brain injury. ANSWER: TBI-related injuries to the brain have been classified as primary and secondary. The primary brain injury results from the initial penetration or mechanical thrashing of the brain against the interior of the skull, leading to lacerations and crushing of brain tissue. Secondary injuries are those occurring due to the physiological changes that occur during the aftermath of the initial injury. These often include cerebral edema, hemorrhage, hematoma, and infection. These changes can adversely affect brain function by leading to rising intracranial pressure and impaired blood flow. Ultimately, it is the secondary injuries that can lead to destruction of neurons, glia, and axons. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Neurotrauma and Spinal Cord Injury

ANSWER: Chronic bronchitis, one of the principal classifications of COPD, is diagnosed in persons with a productive cough and shortness of breath that last about 3 months or more each year for 2 or more years in a row. Cigarette smoking is the primary cause; the longer and more heavily a person smokes, the more likely it is that he or she will develop bronchitis. Secondhand smoke may also cause bronchitis. Chronic bronchitis is seen in people of all ages but is more common in individuals over the age of 45. Females are more than twice as likely to be diagnosed with chronic bronchitis as males. Emphysema develops gradually over years, usually also as a result of exposure to cigarette smoke. Approximately 95% of Americans diagnosed with emphysema are 45 years of age or older. Given that not all smokers develop severe emphysema, their susceptibility or resistance may be linked to genetic factors. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease 79. Discuss the nutritional implications of cystic fibrosis (CF). ANSWER: The relationship between nutrition status and long-term survival of individuals with CF is well documented. Pancreatic insufficiency results in poor digestion, poor absorption of fat and fat-soluble vitamins, and loss of bile and bile salts. Chronic pulmonary infections and deteriorating pulmonary function may lead to anorexia, increased energy requirements, and malnutrition. The more malnourished the patient is, the poorer his or her lung function. Children with CF may have stunted growth and inadequate weight gain because of inadequate supplies of nutrients due to a combination of anorexia and poor nutrient absorption. Lower-than-average height and weight are particularly pronounced in infants, adolescents, and individuals newly diagnosed with CF.

ANSWER: Transplant recipients are at high risk for rejection of the transplanted lung. The body’s immune system considers the transplanted organ an invader and may attack it. Because of the rejection risk, patients must take immunosuppressive (anti-rejection) medications. Rejection occurs most often during the first 3 months after transplantation, but the immunosuppressive medication may need to be taken indefinitely. Common immunosuppressive drugs used are cyclosporine, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, and prednisone, which lower the body’s immunity and increase the risk of infection.

Chapter 22 - Metabolic Stress and the Critically Ill 76. Describe the clinical manifestations of the physiological response to stress. ANSWER: The stress response has been described as a progression through three phases: the ebb phase, the flow phase, and the recovery or resolution phase. The ebb phase encompasses the immediate period after injury (2–48 hours). This period is characterized by shock resulting in hypovolemia and decreased oxygen availability to tissues. The reduction in blood volume results in decreased cardiac output and urinary output. The goal of medical care during this acute period is to restore blood flow to organs, maintain oxygenation of all tissues, and stop all hemorrhaging. As the patient stabilizes hemodynamically, the flow phase begins. This phase encompasses the classic signs and symptoms of metabolic stress: hypermetabolism, catabolism, and altered immune and hormonal responses. The final adaptation phase or recovery phase indicates a resolution of the stress with a return to anabolism and normal metabolic rate. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Physiological Response to Stress 77. Discuss the importance of glutamine during times of metabolic stress. ANSWER: Though glutamine is a non-essential amino acid, the body’s synthesis rate cannot meet the increased needs during the stress of critical illness. Glutamine has thus been recommended for burn, trauma, and ICU patients. Most specialized formulas provide 0.3–0.4 g/kg/day of glutamine, and glutamine can be added to an enteral formula that does not already contain it. Glutamine can also be supplemented parenterally and a recent review suggests that this route of supplementation may produce more consistent positive results. Glutamine is the preferred fuel for the enterocytes and assists in maintaining intestinal membrane permeability. Additionally, glutamine supports immune cell growth, reduces levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and is a precursor to the antioxidant glutathione. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Nutrition Therapy for Metabolic Stress 78. Provide a comprehensive definition of sepsis. ANSWER: Sepsis has historically been defined as an uncontrolled inflammatory response to infection or trauma. It is now understood that sepsis is actually an immunosuppressive process that prevents an adequate response to infection and includes a range of conditions such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome and multi-organ failure. The Society for Critical Care Medicine defines sepsis as “the presence (probable or documented) of infection together with systemic manifestations of infection” and severe sepsis as sepsis plus “infection-induced organ dysfunction or hypoperfusion abnormalities.” Septic shock is defined as “severe sepsis with hypotension not reversed with fluid resuscitation and associated with organ dysfunction or hypoperfusion abnormalities.” DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Sepsis, Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, and Multi-organ Distress Syndrome/Multisystem Organ Failure 79. Explain why nutrition therapy is so important for burn injuries. ANSWER: The patient with a burn injury is at significant nutritional risk due to the hypermetabolic, catabolic response that occurs after the injury. It is estimated that as much as 20% of body protein can be lost within the first 2 weeks of a burn injury. Fluid imbalance, pain, and immobility make it difficult for the patient with extensive burns to maintain his or her nutritional status. And the patient requires optimal nutrition therapy to support wound healing during the treatment and recovery phases. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Nutrition Therapy for Burns 80. Describe the effects general anesthesia can have on the GI tract and how this effects post-operative feeding recommendations. Copyright Cengage Learning. Powered by Cognero.
Page 15
Chapter 22 - Metabolic Stress and the Critically Ill ANSWER:
General anesthesia may result in a post-operative ileus (lack of motility), a general paralysis of the gastrointestinal tract. Resolution of the ileus generally occurs within 24–48 hours, depending on the type of procedure. Traditionally, the patient was prevented from eating or drinking until the ileus was resolved, and the production of gas or bowel movement was a sign of resolution of ileus. Because it is difficult to ascertain when GI function has returned, however, the determination of when to actually begin post-operative feeding has been debated. However, early feeding may become standard in postoperative protocols. Many patients who have entered surgery with nutritional deficits cannot withstand additional weight loss. Allowing a patient to be fed as soon after surgery as is possible and safe is recommended. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Surgery

Chapter 23 - Neoplastic Disease ANSWER:
The etiology of cancer is multifactorial: genetic, environmental, and/or lifestyle factors result in genetic and epigenetic changes and unrestrained proliferation of cells. Risk factors include growing older; tobacco use; exposure to sunlight, ionizing radiation, certain chemicals and other substances (carcinogens), some viruses and bacteria, and certain hormones; family history of cancer; alcohol consumption; poor diet; lack of physical activity; and being overweight. Prevention guidelines were developed by the American Cancer Society (ACS). Screening is available for some cancers -- for example, the Papanicolaou (Pap) test and cervical exam screen for cervical cancer -- but unavailable for many others. REFERENCES: Etiology of Cancer KEYWORDS: Bloom’s Apply 77. Discuss the diagnosis and complications of pancreatic cancer. ANSWER: Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death for both men and women, and is responsible for 6% of all cancer-related deaths. Because pancreatic cancer can seldom be diagnosed when it is still localized and surgically resectable and effective systemic therapies are lacking, the incidence rates are virtually the same as the mortality rates. Pancreatic cancer is frequently diagnosed late due to the vague and non-specific symptoms that accompany the disease; however, weight loss and anorexia are common symptoms at diagnosis. Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency due to obstruction of the pancreatic duct commonly results in malabsorption and steatorrhea. Most patients with pancreatic cancer also have hyperglycemia. REFERENCES: Treatment KEYWORDS: Bloom’s Apply 78. Describe the different types of chemotherapy agents. ANSWER: Chemotherapy agents can be grouped into four broad categories: 1) those that target DNA during replication; 2) small molecules or “biologicals” (such as antibodies or cytokines) designed and developed to interact with a molecular target that leads to uncontrolled proliferation in the tumor cells; 3) hormonal therapies for aberrant cellular behavior, such as that in breast cancer; and 4) macromolecules that have a more specific target, such as cytokines or antibodies, that regulate growth of tumor cells or induce a host immune response to kill tumor cells. Combination chemotherapy, the co-administration of several drugs, may be used to achieve an additive effect. REFERENCES: Treatment KEYWORDS: Bloom’s Apply 79. Describe the GI side effects of chemotherapy and how they can be managed. ANSWER: Antineoplastic agents target those cells that have a high replication rate including those in the GI tract, resulting in diarrhea. In addition, these drugs, especially Antimetabolites (e.g., 5-fluorouracil), inhibit mitosis in rapidly proliferating crypt cells, leading to a disproportionate increase in the number of immature crypt cells. The patient with diarrhea should be encouraged to drink small amounts of fluid frequently throughout the day. Large amounts of fruit juices should be avoided as excessive fructose can exacerbate diarrhea. Clear liquid nutritional beverages and other oral rehydration fluids are recommended. Patients should be encouraged to use anti-diarrheal medications as prescribed by their physicians. Instructing the patient to increase his or her intake of foods high in soluble fiber may also help with the treatment of diarrhea.

Tubular necrosis is associated with several medications commonly used in HIV-infected patients, such as acyclovir, tenofovir, adefovir, and cidofovir, among other nephrotoxic medications. Nephrolithiasis (formation of kidney stones) has been associated with indinavir, and adequate hydration is a key recommendation when using indinavir. Volume depletion, which can occur in patients experiencing diarrhea related to infections or medication tolerance, increase the risk for renal involvement and hyponatremia, hypokalemia, and other imbalances. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Clinical Manifestations 77. Describe testing of genotype and phenotype assays for HIV mutations. ANSWER: In addition to adequate testing for the presence and levels of HIV in the blood, testing for viral mutations through genotype and phenotype assays can assist the process of choosing the most potentially effective therapies. A genotype assay is used to identify points in the DNA sequence of the virus genome that may be mutated and cause resistance to treatment. Phenotype assays are used to determine viral susceptibility to a particular drug. In some cases, genotype predictions of drug resistance and phenotype testing for resistance may show different results or discordance. The prediction of virus susceptibility based on genotype and phenotype testing may assist in the effective use of medications and help to limit the exposure to medications and their associated toxicities when resistance is likely. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Medical Diagnosis 78. Describe the different classes of antiretroviral meds used to combat HIV infection. ANSWER: There are currently five classes of antiretroviral medications: 1) Entry inhibitors interfere with the virus’s ability to bind to receptors on the outer surface of the cell it tries to enter. When receptor binding fails, HIV cannot infect the cell; 2) Fusion inhibitors interfere with the virus’s ability to fuse with a cellular membrane, preventing HIV from entering a cell; 3) Nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors are faulty DNA building blocks. When one of these faulty building blocks is added to a growing HIV DNA chain, no further segments can be added on, halting HIV DNA synthesis. Nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors bind to reverse transcriptase, interfering with its ability to convert HIV RNA into HIV DNA; 4) Integrase strand transfer inhibitors block the HIV enzyme integrase, which the virus uses to integrate its genetic material into the DNA of the cell it has infected; and 5) Protease inhibitors interfere with the HIV enzyme called protease, which normally cuts long chains of HIV proteins into smaller individual proteins, thus preventing the assembly of new virus particles.

Chapter 24 - HIV and AIDS REFERENCES: Treatment 80. Describe a nutritional risk screening for a patient with HIV infection. ANSWER: Nutritional risk screening should be conducted on all patients with HIV infection, with follow-up assessment for identified risk factors. Initial screening may include items from a self-screener that can identify general risk factors related to access to food, consumption of food groups, symptoms, and so forth. An assessment can then be completed on patients who are at risk, or if baseline measurements are desired. Physical factors, biochemical factors, nutrition-related behaviors, and social factors are assessed. Physical evaluation should include at least the minimum dataset of height, weight, and body mass index. In addition, physical measures such as anthropometry, body composition, and examination for clinical signs of over- and under-nutrition can help to provide an overview of the patient's nutritional status and identify issues to address. Biochemical measures will include disease-related measures, nutrition-related measures, and selected measures of concomitant disease factors such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Patient food access and food choices should be explored with consideration to psychosocial and economic factors. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Nutrition Therapy

DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Normal Anatomy and Physiology of the Skeletal System 77. Describe the etiology of osteoporosis. ANSWER: Risk of osteoporosis (primary or secondary) and related fractures is influenced by a number of factors. Risk factors having a particularly strong bearing on the development of peak bone mineral density from childhood through early adulthood include genetic susceptibility and family history, female sex, Caucasian race, premenopausal amenorrhea, physical inactivity, and low lifetime calcium and vitamin D intakes. Low lifetime intakes of fluoride, magnesium, and zinc may also have a bearing. Genetics is a particularly important determinant of peak bone mass and of subsequent fracture risk. Factors that decrease bone remineralization and/or increase demineralization once peak BMD has been achieved include female sex, premenopausal amenorrhea, menopause before age 45 years, age, glucocorticoid therapy, cigarette smoking, physical inactivity, and low intakes of calcium and vitamin D. Low intakes of fluoride, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin K may also influence bone demineralization. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Osteoporosis 78. Describe the treatment for osteomalacia. ANSWER: Persons 65 years old and older are at increased risk of osteomalacia due to diets low in calcium and vitamin D, a lack of sun exposure, decreased efficiency in synthesizing vitamin D, and increased incidence of intestinal malabsorption problems. The treatment of osteomalacia should address the underlying causes. Effective treatment of vitamin D deficiency may require a multivitamin providing as much as 20 μg of vitamin D. Calcium intake should be adequate and may require a supplement providing as much as 1,500–2,000 mg of elemental calcium per day. Patients with severe, longstanding vitamin D deficiency may initially require pharmacologic doses of up to 1,250 μg per week for 3–12 weeks, followed by maintenance therapy of 20 μg per day. Patients taking drugs that accelerate hepatic breakdown of vitamin D, and those with intestinal malabsorption problems, will require vitamin D in doses much greater than the RDA. Patients with liver or kidney diseases that prevent the activation of vitamin D into its biologically active form will require a form of vitamin D that is already biologically active, such as calcitriol.

ANSWER: Fibromyalgia, also referred to as fibromyalgia syndrome or FMS, is a chronic musculoskeletal disorder characterized by widespread muscle pain, joint stiffness, disturbed sleep, fatigue, headache, cognitive and memory problems (sometimes referred to as “fibro fog”), paresthesias, irritable bowel syndrome, painful menstrual periods, and numerous tender points, which are specific muscle-tendon sites throughout the body that are painful when pressed. Fibromyalgia is the second most common musculoskeletal condition encountered by rheumatologists, affecting an estimated 5 million adults in 2005. Prevalence is about 2%, and is much higher among women than men (3.4% vs. 0.5%). The etiology of fibromyalgia is multifactorial and includes both environmental and genetic factors. Treating fibromyalgia involves a multidisciplinary approach aimed at improving the quality of sleep; treating depression, anxiety, and pain; increasing physical activity; and using various approaches to help patients better cope with stressful events and improve their ability to relax.

Chapter 25 - Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System 80. Describe the etiology and clinical manifestations of osteoarthritis (OA). ANSWER: OA is not a specific entity, but a disease process involving all the structures of the joint, including the articular cartilage, the subchondral bone, the synovial fluid and synovial membranes, the ligaments, and the nerves and muscles supporting the joint. However, the most striking changes seen in OA are those within the load bearing articular cartilage. Although osteoarthritis has been classified as a noninflammatory form, increasing evidence has shown that inflammation occurs as cytokines and metalloproteinases are released into the joint. These agents are involved in the excessive matrix degradation that characterizes cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis. The progressive loss of articular cartilage and the inflammation of the other tissues composing the joint result in joint pain, stiffness, limited joint movement, wasting of periarticular muscles, and in some instances, joint instability and deformity. No specific laboratory abnormalities are associated with osteoarthritis and it is typically diagnosed on the basis of clinical and radiographic evidence.

Sapropterin improves dietary Phe tolerance, allowing more dietary consumption of natural sources of protein. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Amino Acidopathies 74. Describe the etiology of urea cycle disorders. ANSWER: Ammonia is normally converted to urea in the liver by means of several biochemical steps and eventually excreted as urea. A disruption in any one of the eight component pathways involved in the urea cycle results in disorders of the urea cycle. These pathways are governed by enzymes that undergo a cascade of enzymatic transformations to convert the toxic ammonia molecule to non-toxic, water-soluble urea, which contains two nitrogen groups and is eliminated in the urine. Therefore, urea cycle disorders result in an impaired capacity of the body to excrete nitrogen in the form of urea. Copyright Cengage Learning. Powered by Cognero.

ANSWER: Fructose is predominantly metabolized in the liver, kidney, and small intestine in a specialized pathway composed of three enzymes -- fructokinase, aldolase type B, and triokinase -- that convert fructose into intermediates of the glycolytic gluconeogenic pathway. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Disorders of Carbohydrate Metabolism 76. Describe supplementation of end products as an approach for chronic management of metabolic disorders and provide a specific example. ANSWER: Substrates that should have been formed from the enzymatic reactions that are defective in metabolic disorders are needed for energy production, protein turnover, feedback inhibition of metabolic pathways, and/or production of other substrates. In the case of metabolic blocks in these enzymatic reactions, an alternative means of achieving the end goal of the reaction must be provided. In glycogen storage disease type I, for example, the enzymatic block results in an inability to produce glucose. Consequently, providing a continuous source of glucose through frequent feedings is the therapy for this disorder. Similarly, in the amino acid disorder homocystinuria, where the amino acid homocysteine is unable to be converted to cysteine, cysteine consequently needs to be supplemented in the diet. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Nutrition Therapy for Inborn Errors of Metabolism: General Guidelines 77. Discuss the epidemiology of amino acidopathies. ANSWER: Amino acid disorders include conditions affecting the metabolism of a single amino acid, such as PKU or isovaleric acidemia (IVA), as well as disorders involving multiple amino acids, such as MSUD. Several of these conditions were discovered less than 50 years ago. Incidence of these disorders can vary significantly, with the most common amino acid disorder, PKU, having an incidence of 1 in 15,000 births. The rarer disorders such as isovaleric acidemia or homocystinuria, however, have incidences of less than 1 in 100,000 births. Incidence of these disorders can vary based on ethnicity. Those populations that tend to be more homogenous have been found to have higher rates of certain disorders. For example, MSUD has been detected at an incidence of 1 in 290,000 births in state screening programs. In the Mennonite Community, a homogeneous group in Pennsylvania, there is a much higher prevalence for this condition at 1 in every 790 births. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Amino Acidopathies 78. Describe the acute nutritional interventions used for urea cycle disorders. ANSWER: Initial treatment includes administration of intravenous fluids because many infants are dehydrated at presentation due to anorexia and poor oral intake. Over-hydration should be avoided because most patients with urea cycle defects have some degree of cerebral swelling. Caloric supplementation should be maximized to reverse catabolism and nitrogen turnover. In addition to glucose, intralipid administration can provide much-needed kilocalories in a smaller volume. Complete protein restriction is recommended only for a 24- to 48-hour period in order to avoid depletion of essential amino acids, which would result in further protein catabolism and nitrogen release. If enteral feedings cannot be tolerated, total parenteral nutrition (TPN) should be started. When protein is reintroduced into the diet, a standard TPN solution with a low percentage of amino acids may be used if TPN is only needed for a short duration. If enteral feedings are not resumed quickly, then the use of a special TPN solution rich in the essential branched-chain amino acids should be considered.

Chapter 26 - Metabolic Disorders REFERENCES: Urea Cycle Disorders 79. Describe the causes, symptoms and incidence of galactosemia. ANSWER: Classical galactosemia is an enzyme defect in galactose metabolism leading to failure to thrive, hepatomegaly (enlarged liver), and life-threatening sepsis in the newborn period. Vomiting and jaundice may develop as early as a few days after milk feedings are begun. Anorexia, failure to gain weight or to grow, or even weight loss ensues. In the absence of treatment, parenchymal damage to the liver leads to the development of cirrhosis. Patients may present with edema, ascites, bleeding problems, and an enlarged spleen. Because galactose is a monosaccharide found in milk products, the disease may be rapidly fatal if milk feedings are continued. Other complications associated with the continued ingestion of galactose include cataract formation, mental retardation, and renal tubular dysfunction. All states now screen for galactosemia in the newborn period before symptoms are present or complications of the disease have taken place. Galactosemia has been reported to occur in approximately one in every 60,000–80,000 births in the United States. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Disorders of Carbohydrate Metabolism 80. Describe the acute nutritional interventions used for disorders of fat metabolism. ANSWER: The metabolic crises associated with disorders of fatty acid metabolism are usually precipitated by febrile illness, fasting, and/or excess energy expenditure. Acute treatment is aimed at stopping catabolism and the subsequent release of free fatty acids. Use of antipyretic and antiemetic medications to reduce fever and vomiting is helpful. Intravenous dextrose is used to provide a constant source of glucose. The high-glucose feedings used in order to prevent or recover from hypoglycemia may necessitate the use of insulin to achieve euglycemia. The dextrose should not be discontinued until the patient is able to maintain his or her blood sugar and to tolerate enteral feedings. The use of mediumchain triglycerides in treatment of disorders besides MCADD is an effective way to provide additional calories without increasing the load on the enzymatic block. Fluids should be provided at a rate of 1.5-2 times maintenance requirements in order to flush out the metabolites. Carnitine can be given either intravenously or by mouth to help conjugate the excess fatty acids. DIFFICULTY: Bloom’s Apply REFERENCES: Disorders of Fat Metabolism
