Sources of nutrition: Teaching about Natural sources of Folate  Folate (folic acid is the synthetic form) is required for hemoglobin and amino acid synthesis, cellular reproduction, and preventio ... n of neural tube defects in utero.  Deficiency causes megaloblastic anemia, CNS disturbances, and fetal neural tube defects (spina bifida and anencephaly). It is important that all women of child-bearing age get an adequate amount of folate due to neural tube formation occurring early in gestation, often before a woman knows she is pregnant.  Folate occurs naturally in a variety of foods including liver, dark-green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, whole-grain products, and legumes. Cardiovascular and hematologic disorders: Heart healthy diet Preventative Nutrition  Consuming a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet can reduce the risk of developing CHD.  Daily cholesterol intake should be less than 200 mg.  Increasing fiber and carbohydrate intake, avoiding saturated fat, and decreasing red meat consumption can decrease the risk for developing CHD.  Increased intake of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, flaxseed, soy beans, canola, and walnuts reduces the risk of coronary artery disease.  Therapeutic Nutrition  Secondary prevention efforts for CHD are focused on lifestyle changes that lower LDL. These include a diet low in cholesterol and saturated fats, a diet high in fiber, exercise and weight management, and smoking cessation.  Daily cholesterol intake should be less than 200 mg/day. Saturated fat should be limited to less than 7% of daily caloric intake Sources of Nutrition: Identifying low phosphorus foods Major sources: Dairy, peas, soft drinks, meat, eggs, some grains Findings of deficiency: Calcium level changes, muscle weakness Findings of excess: Skeletal porosity, decreased calcium levels, must stay in balance with calcium Nursing implications: Evaluate the use of antacids (note type) and the use of alcohol.
