Chapter 2 Key Terms Flashcards
(20 cards)
AND’s evidence-based guides for practice
specific nutrition practice guidelines available from the AND’s Evidence Analysis Library
environmental factors
social and economic factors (wages, transportation, etc.) that
impact both lifestyle choices and the consumption of food and nutrients; other external factors such as food safety and sanitation determine the quality of food that is consumed, and food availability/access contributes to the amount and type of food consumed
evidence-based practice guides
a series of guiding statements and treatment algorithms that are developed using a systematic review process of identifying, analyzing, and synthesizing scientific evidence
expected outcomes
the desired changes to be achieved over time as a result of nutrition intervention
food and nutrient factors
the amount and type of foods and nutrients that are consumed and therefore made available to the body
human biological factors
conditions that determine a person’s nutrient requirements; one’s age, gender, and stage of growth and development are used to estimate kcal and nutrient needs; illnesses that alter organ function or metabolism influence not only the amount of nutrients required but also the form of nutrients that the body needs and can tolerate
ideal goals
science-based values intended to control or improve specific health conditions
lifestyle factors
a person’s knowledge, attitudes/beliefs, and other patterns, which directly impact the choices that are made regarding food and physical activity; assessment of these factors provides information about a person’s ability and/or readiness to make behavior changes
nutrition assessment
a systematic process of obtaining, verifying, and interpreting data in order to make decisions about the nature and cause of nutrition-related problems
nutrition care process (NCP)
a systematic problem-solving method developed by the AND that dietetics practitioners use to think critically, make decisions addressing nutrition-related problems, and provide safe, effective, high-quality nutrition care
nutrition diagnosis
the identification and descriptive labeling of an actual occurrence of a nutrition problem that dietetics practitioners are responsible for treating independently
nutrition intervention
a specific set of activities and associated materials used to address a (nutrition-relate) problem
nutrition monitoring and evaluation
active measurement and documentation of the appropriate outcome indicators relevant to a nutrition diagnosis in order to determine the degree to which progress is being made and whether or not the client’s goals are being met
outcome measures
data used to evaluate the success of interventions; includes direct nutrition outcomes, clinical and health status outcomes, patient/client-centered outcomes, and health care utilization and cost outcomes
outcomes management system
a system that evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of the entire NCP: assessment, diagnosis, implementation, cost, and other factors; it links care processes and resource utilization with outcomes
patient/client centered
describes care that considers patients’ cultural traditions, personal preferences and values, family situations, and lifestyles
PES
problem, etiology, and signs and symptoms; the format used in the NCP to write a nutrition diagnosis; it clarifies a specific nutrition problem and logically links the nutrition diagnosis to nutrition intervention and to monitoring and evaluation
screening and referral system
a supportive system to the Nutrition Care Process and Model that helps identify those persons who would benefit from nutrition care
standardized language
a uniform terminology that is used to describe practice
system factors
external factors (health care, education, and food supply systems) that influence the type of services that are available to individuals and how these services are delivered
