NURSING SKILLS NUTRITIONASSESSING NUTRITIONAL STATUS (ABCD Approach) 1. A anthropometric measurement 2. B biochemical data 3. C clinical signs of nutritional status 4. D dietary history

Anthropometric Measurements 1. Height 2. Weight 3. Skin fold measurements 4. Mid upper arm circumference 30 ang average, measure from the acromion to olecranon 5. BMI [ 20 to 25 ]

QUESTION : Compute for the BMI of Gardo, weighing 248 lbs and with a vertical length of 6 feet and 11 inches.

BIOCHEMICAL DATA Biochemical Data use to detect malnutrition before anthropometric changes occurs 1. Hemoglobin low = IDA , normal should be not below 12 mg/dl (12-16 mg/dL) 2. Hematocrit percentage of RBC in found in a whole blood 40-50 , (35-45% )Increase Hct = DHN 3. Serum Albumin protein , produced by the liver .. Changes slowly, good indicator of long term protein deficiency 3.5 to 5.5 g/dl 4. Transferrin more sensitive indicator of protein malnutrition because it responds quickly to changes. Synth by liver. High when low iron, low when high iron .5. Lymphocyte decreases as protein decreases 15-40% of rbc Decrease protein = decrease lymphocytes = risk to infection 6. Nitrogen Balance BUN 10-20 mg/dl elevated : starvation or excessive fluid intake, decrease cause by low protein diet. 7. Creatinine depends on the skeletal muscle mass, decrease / sm atrophy… body builders .

CRITICAL PATHWAY 1. The nurse knows that if a client has a Hematocrit level of 60%, the client is probably experiencing: A. Delusions C. Too little fluid B. Too much fluid D. This is a normal value
