Diagnosis

Nutrition Diagnosis:

Food and Nutrition Related Knowledge Deficit

PES Statement:

Food and Nutrition Related Knowledge Deficit (new) rt lack of controlled sat fat intake and diabetes
education/intervention strategies (knowledge) as evidenced by 8.1% A1c, 177 mg/dL triglyceride, 201 mg/dL
cholesterol, and a diet recall consisting largely of bread with butter, fries, and pasta with cheese sauce.
Nutrition Intervention

Food and nutrition delivery:

Meals and Snacks: General healthful diet. Carbohydrate modified diet: Consistent carbohydrate diet. Fat modified diet
– Saturated fat modified diet: Decreased saturated fat diet. Cholesterol modified diet: Decreased cholesterol diet.

Recommend consistent carbohydrate diet of 60g/meal and 15g/snack within one week. Pt is advised to decrease
consumption of foods containing butter, cheese, and refined grains, by at least half (replacing with whole grains) and
decrease consumption of simple carbohydrate foods (to once a day) within the next week. In addition, pt is
recommended to decrease consumption of red meat, reducing intake to no more than 0.5 serving/day within the
next week. Pt should increase intake of fruits, vegetables, nuts/seeds, and lean meats (poultry, fish, and turkey).

Nutrition education:

Content related nutrition education: Verbal and written education regarding general healthy diet (increased fr/veg,
fish, poultry, nuts, low fat dairy, whole grains) and diabetes education consisting of importance of regular testing.
Education will include foods associated with carbohydrate intake (including discussions on glycemic index) and
implementing the carb counting method (45-75 g/meal 15-30 g/snack). Pt should be encouraged to decrease
consumption of simple carbohydrate foods such as refined grains as shown from his diet recall.

Education on nutrition’s influence on health:


Verbal and written education regarding the impact of following these guidelines on the reduction of DM and
hypercholesterolemia, as these conditions may lead to more serious conditions (stroke, kidney damage, angina,
and/or nerve damage).

Physical activity guidance: Pt is recommended to follow AHA guidelines on exercise which consists of 150 min/wk
moderate intensity aerobic exercise or 75 min vigorous, or combination of the two, with resistance training at least 2
days/wk.

Bioactive substance management: Recommended to avoid alcohol due to Lipitor interaction.

Nutrition related laboratory result interpretation: Verbal and written education regarding glucose and A1c result as
well as triglycerides and cholesterol lipid lab panels. Discussion will include the definitions/what is being tested in
layman’s terms and importance of the test, the normal values compared to the lab values obtained by the patient,
and goals to decrease values over specified time frame. Education will also include self-monitoring of glucose at home
to track values over time.

Monitoring and Evaluation

Food and nutrient intake:


Food Intake - Types of Food. Evaluate the pt’s intake to see adherence of general healthy diet, specifically noting the types of fat
and carbohydrate consumed.
Alcohol Intake - Alcohol Intake in one week. Monitor whether pt adhered to nutrition orders to avoid alcohol due to Lipitor
interaction.
Fat Intake – Measured fat intake: Total fat measured intake in 24 hours. Saturated Fat measured intake in 24 hours. Monitor
total fat and saturated fat intake and evaluate whether further interventions are needed.
Cholesterol Intake – Cholesterol measured intake in 24 hours. Monitor cholesterol and evaluate whether further interventions
are needed.
Carbohydrate Intake – Measured carbohydrate intake: Total carbohydrate measured intake in 24 hours. Simple carbohydrate
measured intake in 24 hours. Carbohydrate measured intake in one meal. Monitor total carbohydrate and simple carbohydrate
over the course of 24 hours to note client’s understanding of severity of tracking intake (looking for some sort of adherence not
a drastic change this soon). Carbohydrate intake for one meal should be monitored to note pt’s understanding of carbohydrate
distribution over the day (looking for adherence to specified g/meal or snack).
Food and Nutrition Skill – Nutrition skill of individual client. Monitor whether the pt can successfully check blood glucose levels
with a glucometer. Pt will be able to count carbs per meal, fulfilling no greater than 65 carbs per meal and 20 carbs per snack.

Physical Activity – Physical Activity history. Consistency. Frequency. Duration. Intensity. Type of physical activity. Monitor pt’s
physical activity (initially over the course of a week), noting the frequency and type of activity including its duration and
intensity.

Anthropometric measurements

Weight Change - Weight Loss of 1lb over a week.

Biochemical data:

Glucose/Endocrine Profile: Glucose, casual. Pt will have glu WNL within a week (new goal).
Lipid Profile - Cholesterol, serum. Triglycerides, serum. Pt will have cholesterol and triglycerides WNL within a week (new goal).

Diabetic Nursing Assessment Details

Basic Information

Date: 02/20/2017 02:11:33

Author: Cathy Rhoades, RN

Location: Central Clinic

Title: Diabetic Nursing Assessment


Note: Tom is a retired 69-year-old man with a 2-year history of type 2 diabetes. Although he was
diagnosed two years ago, he had symptoms indicating hyperglycemia for 2 years before
diagnosis. He had fasting blood glucose records indicating values of 118-127 mg/dl, which
were described to him as indicative of "borderline diabetes." He also remembered past
episodes of nocturia associated with large pasta meals and rich deserts. At the time of initial
diagnosis, he was advised to lose weight (at least 20 lb.), but no further action was taken.

Referred by his family physician to this diabetes specialty clinic, he presents with recent weight
gain, suboptimal diabetes control, and foot pain. He has been trying to lose weight and
increase his exercise for the past 6 months without success. He had been started on glyburide
(Diabeta) one year ago, 2.5 mg every morning, but had stopped taking it because of dizziness,
often accompanied by sweating and a feeling of mild agitation, in the late afternoon.

He also takes atorvastatin (Lipitor), 10 mg daily, for hypercholesterolemia (elevated


cholesterol and elevated triglycerides). He has tolerated this medication and adheres to the
daily schedule. During the past 6 months, he has also taken chromium picolinate, gymnema
sylvestre, and a "pancreas elixir" in an attempt to improve his diabetes control. He stopped
these supplements when he did not see any positive results.

He does not test his blood glucose levels at home and expresses doubt that this procedure
would help him improve his diabetes control. "What would knowing the numbers do for me?,"
he asks. "The doctor already knows the sugars are high."

He states that he has, "Never been sick a day in my life." He recently retired from the
hardware business and has become very active in a variety of volunteer organizations. He lives
with his wife of 48 years and has two married children and four grandchildren. Although his
mother had type 2 diabetes, he has limited knowledge regarding diabetes self-care
management and states that he does not understand why he has diabetes since he never eats
sugar. In the past, his wife has encouraged him to treat his diabetes with herbal remedies and
weight-loss supplements, and she frequently scans the Internet for the latest diabetes
remedies.

During the past year, he has gained 22 lb. Since retiring, he has been more physically active,
playing golf once a week and gardening, but he has been unable to lose more than 2-3 lb. He
has never seen a dietitian and has not been instructed in self-monitoring of blood glucose.

He has never had a full diet history, but brief discussion reveals his normal dinners consist of
meat and french fries or pasta with cheese sauce and he consumes three to four slices of
buttered bread most evenings. During the day, he often has "a slice or two" of bread with
butter or margarine. He also eats 3-4 pieces of fresh fruit per day at meals and as snacks. He
eats chicken and fish a few times per week, but prefers read meat. His wife has offered to
make him meatless meals, but he finds them "tasteless" and "unsatisfying." He drinks 8 oz. of
red wine with dinner each evening. He stopped smoking more than 10 years ago, he reports,
"when the cost of cigarettes topped a buck-fifty."

The medical documents that he brings to this appointment indicate that his hemoglobin A1C
(A1C) has never been <8%. His blood pressure has been measured at 150/70, 148/92, and
166/88 mmHg on three separate occasions during the past year at his local Family Clinic.
Although he was told that his blood pressure was "up a little," he was not aware of the need to
keep his blood pressure at or below target levels for both cardiovascular and renal health.

John has never had a foot exam as part of his primary care exams, nor has he been instructed
in preventive foot care. His medical records indicate that he has had no surgeries or
hospitalizations, his immunizations are up to date, and, in general, he has been remarkably
healthy for many years.
