Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

1.5K
Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

Drug Dosing: Obese Patients

335
In the United States, obesity is a prominent concern. It is linked to heightened mortality rates due to increased occurrences of conditions such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and diabetes compared to nonobese individuals. A patient is classified as obese if their actual body weight surpasses the ideal or desirable body weight by 20%, based on Metropolitan Life Insurance Company data. Ideal body weights consider average weights and heights for males and females...

Hospitals offer medical and surgical care to the sick and injured, along with accommodation while they recover. At the same time, they also provide outpatient, emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services to meet various community needs. In addition to providing medical care, hospitals also act as hubs for medical research and training. Hospitals use clinical procedures and evidence-based practice standards to deliver patient care. To deliver safe and efficient care, a nurse must stay up...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

4.8K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.
Nurses that work in...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Food insecurity affects 30% of hospital "super-utilizers," who frequently experience hunger and difficulty preparing meals. Addressing food needs is crucial for improving health outcomes in high-utilization patient populations.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Services Research
  • Nutrition Science

Background:

  • Food insecurity is a significant public health concern impacting overall well-being.
  • Patients with frequent hospital admissions, termed "super-utilizers," often face complex health and social challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of food insecurity among adult hospital super-utilizers.
  • To understand the relationship between food insecurity and high healthcare utilization.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative interviews were conducted with 40 adult super-utilizers at an urban hospital in Philadelphia.
  • Food insecurity was assessed using the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) definition.
  • Hospitalization data and patient-reported food access and preparation abilities were collected.

Main Results:

  • 30% of super-utilizers experienced food insecurity, and 25% were marginally food secure.
  • High rates of food-related distress were reported, including worry about food running out and experiencing hunger.
  • Many patients faced challenges with food shopping (75%) and preparation (58%), with over half utilizing food pantries.

Conclusions:

  • Food insecurity is prevalent among hospital super-utilizers and is linked to significant challenges in accessing and preparing food.
  • The impact of unmet food needs on super-utilization requires further research.
  • Interventions connecting patients to community food resources are essential for improving health and well-being.
