Q

Selenium Deficiencies/Clinical Manifestations

A
  • Decreased ability to fight infection
  • Muscle pain
  • muscle wasting
17
Q

Hematocrit Norms

A

W= 37-47%
M= 42-52%

18
Q

Hemoglobin Norms

A

W= 12-16mg/dL
M= 14-17 mg/dL

19
Q

WBC Norms

A

5.0-10.0 ^9/L

20
Q

Platelets Norms

A

140-400k/uL

21
Q

A1c Levels

A

Normal= <5.7% and <100mg/dL
Pre-diabetes= 5.7-6.4% and 100-125mg/dL
Diabetes= >6.55 and >125mg/dL

22
Q

Glucose norms

A

70-100mg/dL

23
Q

Water

A

water intake
- healthy= 30-35mL/kg of weight
- Open wounds= 2.7-3.7L/day
- Large surface burns= increase even more

  • dehydration can impair wound healing
  • increased risk of pressure injuries
24
Q

Protein

A
  • deficiencies impair all 3 phases of wound healing
  • deficiencies decrease collagen synthesis, remodeling + granulation formation
  • Can lose protein through wound drainage
    NITROGEN EXCRETED= INTAKE= BALANCE
25
Carbohydrates
- Power + repair + regenerate - Protein sparing effect= decrease in carbs = convert protein + fat into energy
26
Fats
- needed energy for all cells when carbs are depleted - Fat soluble vitamins= A,D,E,K -Fat is required for synthesis of new cells
27
Vitamin A
- for healthy skin + epithelial - Needed for collagen synthesis, granulation tissue, and epithelialization - Increases wounds tensile strength
28
Vitamin C
- Builds and maintain tissue
29
Vitamin K
- blood clotting - Deficiency can increase inflammatory phase
30
Vitamin B
- WBC function + fights infection Coenzymes= B1 + B2 + Niacin for metabolism Folate +B12= blood form + RBC form
31
Vitamin E
Antioxidant - Decreases inflammatory phase
32
Zinc
- Vital to cellular process - collagen and protein synthesis - cell proliferation - epithelialization - Normal immune function
33
Iron
- Essential for O2 transport - Antibody + immune function - anemia if deficient
34
Copper
- Needed for hemoglobin synthesis - needed to absorb iron + transport - increases tensile strength
35
Magnesium
Needed for: - bone formation - Protein synthesis - repair Deficiency in magnesium can lead to hypertension + vasoconstriction
36
Calcium
- Needed for bone formation + remodel - needed for muscle contraction - needed for Fibrin synthesis = blood clotting ***
37
Phosphorus
- Controlled by kidneys - needed for normal metabolism and fluid balance
38
Selenium
- Needed for protein synthesis
