Final Exam Part II: Comprehensive Essays

Basic Nutrition and Diet Therapy course for Nursing students discuss the basic
principles of how nutrition impacts the recovery and well-being of patients through
food and the chemical substances in food like nutrients. What are your insights about
the role of nutrients on how it will support immunity in these trying times of pandemic?
(20 Points)
···/20

Nutrients are essential to our life and health, it provides what our body needs from the food we
eat or consume. Our body is using the nutrients to produce energy and repair tissues and
maintain our health. Since having good and proper nutrition in our body, it will promote and
increase the general immune system that will prevent diseases especially in patients not to be
infected. Nutrition also has a role in the recovery of patients especially for patients after surgery,
burns, malnutrition or long-term mechanical ventilation so providing a good nutritional diet is
important. Now that the world is suffering from the pandemic it is important to stay healthy and
maintain good immune system so that you are not easily susceptible from the virus it is said that
it is mandatory to attain and maintain good nutritional status to fight against the virus, so to
strengthening and improving our immune system by foods that is nutritious or drinking vitamins or
supplementation will help to boost our immunity and be safe from diseases or virus.

 
Provide some ideas on how nurses will handle and communicate effectively with
patients when the patients are on disease-specific diets. 2.A. A patient with
hypertension and asking about foods allowed and restricted. (10 points) 2.B. A patient
for discharge and need necessary information about blenderized feeding and
preparation. (10 points). 2.C. A cancer patient who is on Enteral Feeding and need
additional information about the calorie content of the nutritional formula. (10 points)

Introduce the DASH Diet food for the patient with hypertension for example include to the health
teaching what should be done by the patient for example:Eat more fruits, vegetables, and low-fat
dairy foods Cut back on foods that are high in saturated fat, cholesterol, and trans fats, Eat more
whole-grain foods, fish, poultry, and nuts, Limit sodium, sweets, sugary drinks, and red meats.
For patients to discharge and need necessary information about blenderized feeding and
preparation, it is important to teach the patient how, To accomplish this, whole foods are liquefied
in a blender with water, juice, broth, or various types of milk, and administered by syringe bolus in
feeding tubes. This is a flexible practice ranging from adding one small blended food per day with
a standard commercial EN regimen to consuming a diet consisting of only blenderized foods. For
a cancer patient who is on Enteral Feeding and need additional information about the calorie
content of the nutritional formula include in the information about a formula and what it is
example: Polymeric formulas (including blenderized food and milk-based or lactose-free
commercial formulas) are commercially available and generally provide a complete, balanced
diet. For oral or tube feedings, they are usually preferred to feeding modules. In hospitalized
patients, lactose-free formulas are the most commonly used polymeric formulas and Specialized
formulas include hydrolyzed protein or sometimes amino acid formulas, which are used for
patients who have difficulty digesting complex proteins.
