Identify nursing interventions to manage poor nutrition | offer supplementation, fortify, freq small meals |
Describe the role of carbohydrates in wound healing | provides energy, protein sparing, angiogenesis |
Describe the role of proteins in wound healing | needed for nitrogen balance, provide amino acids and new protein syntheses |
Describe the role of fat in wound healing | cell walls, intracellular structures |
Describe the role of vit C in wound healing | collagen synthesis and iron absorbtion |
Describe the role of iron in wound healing | oxygen transport |
Describe the role of zinc in wound healing | protein metabolism, collagen formation, |
Describe the factors to consider in a nutritional assessment | nutritional hx, physical statues, ability to eat/absorb, lab data, social factors affecting food intake |
What are the criteria for determining the route of nutritional support | ability to consume adequate nutrition PO. GI tract should be used if at all possible, second choice is parenteral.` |

what is the recommended protein intake for healing | 1.25-1.50 g per Kg or enough to maintain a positive nitrogen balance |
what is the the best choice of lab test to measure nutritional status | prealbumin |
role of B complex in healing | cofactors in enzymes, inflammation, synthesis of macronutrients |
role of vit A in healing | angiogenesis, epithelialization,inflammatory response |
role of vit E in healing | antioxidant |
