Document Summary
Nfs 444 (pharmacy) - exam 1 review sheet. Indicators of malnutrition (ibw, %ibw, %abw, %ubw, adjusted ibw, %wt change over time): Ideal body weight: women 100 lbs + 5 lbs for each inch over 5 feet; men 106 lbs + 6 lbs for each inch over 5 feet. Weight change over time: (usual bodyweight- current bodyweight)/(usual bodyweight) x 100% When a person overeats (feasting): when a person eats in excess of energy needs, the body stores a small amount of glycogen and much larger quantities of fat. When a person draws on stores (fasting): when nutrients from a meal are no longer available to provide energy (about 2 to 3 hours after a meal), the body draws on its glycogen and fat stores for energy. In addition, the liver converts fats to ketone bodies, which serve as the alternative energy source of the brain, thus slowing the breakdown of body protein.
