Macronutrients
Glucose, Fructose, or Galactose are examples of monosaccharides or the simplest kind of this macronutrient
Carbohydrate
This organ's main absorptive task is the absorption of water and the remainder is used to form feces
large intestine
Increased physical activity, increased fiber, and adequate fluid intake may be suggested to improve the passing of stool in this nutritional related GI issue
Constipation
These are substances that induce increase urination and subsequent fluid loss
Diuretics
The food assistance program that is designed specifically for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and children under 5 (abbreviated as WIC)
Women, Infants, and Children
Positive Nitrogen Balance occurs during periods of growth such as infancy, pregnancy/lactation, childhood, or adolescence and requires this macronutrient for building needs
Protein
Mouth
Elevated BMI, increased workload on the heart/body, and increased adipose tissue are typical of this nutritional excess diagnosis
Obesity
This term meaning excessive thirst is common in patients with elevated blood glucose such as diabetics
Polydipsia
This vitamin is essential to maintain calcium homeostasis and may need supplemented in those who live in cloudy areas (like NWPA!) or those who eat strict vegan diets
Vitamin D
Concentrated fuel source that can be stored in the body's adipose tissue for later use
Fat
Through what organ are nutrients absorbed using simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, or pinocytosis into the body's blood circulation
Small Intestine
Calcium, vitamin D, and weight-bearing activity are encouraged to combat this nutritional related disease that can result in increased risk of fractures
Osteoporosis
Small substances, usually measured as mEq, that can easily cross cell membranes and strive to maintain electrical neutrality (ex: sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium)
Today a client recorded eating one large pancake (28 g carbs) with 1 tbsp syrup (14 g carbs). How many calories from carbs did the client consume at breakfast?
168 calories
The primary function of this macronutrient is tissue building, repairing body tissues, and maintenance of strong body structure
Protein
Peristalsis
The American Heart Association recommends reducing this specific type of fat in order to reduce nutritional related cardiac disease
Excessive vomiting, diarrhea, or sweating would place a patient at high risk of this water imbalance
Dehydration (fluid volume deficit)
Today a client recorded eating one hamburger (30 g fat) on a bun (2 g fat). How many calories from fats did the client eat?
The body's primary and preferred source of fuel for energy
Carbohydrates
Vegetables with skin, beans, and fruit are high in this type of carbohydrate that is not fully digested and provides bulk to the diet
Fiber
Deficiency of this mineral can be linked to inadequate dietary intake, excessive blood loss, or lack of gastric hydrochloric acid which helps absorption in the intestines
Kidneys
This vitamin (named originally koagulations vitamin) is routinely administered to newborns after birth because of the high risk of hemorrhaging, found in green leafy vegetables it promotes blood clotting
Vitamin K
