Question

1)What is the correct diagnosis for a client who frequently eats in restaurants and has the following laboratory findings: Blood pressure level, 135/86 mmHg, fasting blood glucose, 130 mg/dl, total choleasterol, 256 mg/dl, LDL cholesterol, 192 mg/dl, and HDL cholesterol 34 mg/dl?

Limited access to food

Excessive oral food/beverage intake

Impaired ability to prepare foods/meals

Altered nutrition-related laboratory values

2) A client's laboratory tests indicate a glomerular filtration rate of 14 ml/min/1.73m2 (Low), BUN level of 70 mg/dl (High), serum potassium 5.9 mEq/L (High), serum  phosphorus 9.6 mg/dL (High). These values are associated with which of the following conditions?

Nephrolithiasis

Nephrotic syndrome

End-stage renal disease

Stage 1 chronic kidney disease

3)Which of the following types of enteral nutrition is recommended for patients who need enteral feeding for more than 4 weeks after undergoing an esophagectomy? 

Nasogastric.

Jejunostomy.

Orogastric

Nasojejunal.

Explanation / Answer

1. Altered nutrition related laboratory values.

Normal levels are.

Fasting glucose- less than 100 mg/dL

Blood pressure - 120/80 mm Hg

Cholestrol less than 200mg/dL

LDL should be less than 100mg/dL

HDL more than 60 mg/dL

2. End stage renal disease.

The major diagnosis is a huge decrease in gfr. Nephrolithiasis is simply kidney stones. Nephrotic syndrome is associated with proteinuria. Stage 1 CKD hass a pretty high gfr. Hence answer is end stage renal disease.

3. Jejunostomy

This is because rest routes require passage through resected oesophagus pathway which may be hazardous.
