Q

What is nutritional screening

A

A process to identify an individual who is:
* At risk of malnutrition (risk factors are present that impair intake and/or increase the body’s needs for nutrients and/or energy)
* Malnourished
* Likely to benefit from further nutrition assessment and treatment

Q

Considerations for choosing a screening tool

A

Rapid and simple process not neccessarily conducted by a nutrition professional

Q

Describe the nutritional assessment

A

Identify the nutrition problem (s) and make decisions about the underlying cause (s)
* systematic approach to collect, record, and interpret relevant data from patients, clients, family members, caregivers, and other individuals and groups.
* Ongoing, dynamic process: data collection and continual reassessment and analysis of client’s status compared to specific criteria.

Q

Height conversions

A

5 feet 2 inches (5’ 2”)
* 5 feet * 12 inches per foot = 60 inches
* 60 inches + 2 inches = 62 inches
* 62 inches * 2.54 cm per inch = 157.48 cm

1 foot = 12 inches
1 inch = 2.54 cm

Q

Calculation BMI for Jody’s measurements from her Doctor’s appointment
* Weight: 145 lbs
* Height: 5’1”

A
  1. 145 lbs/ 2.2 = 65.9 kg
  2. 5 feet x 12 = 60 inches + 1 inch = 61 inches x 2.54 = 154.94 cm = 1.5494 m
  3. 65.9/1.5494 cm2 = 27.45 kg/m2

  • 500 – 750 calorie addition to current daily intake if underweight/ unintended weight loss
  • Obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) = 21 kcal/kg/day
  • Obesity (BMI ≥ 40 30 kg/m2) = 11 – 14 kcal/kg/day
34
Q

Weight loss recommendations
