wound strength, muscle weakness; and organ failure
Exogenous energy is better than endogenous energy because... - Answer Eating vs. using body storage;
patient will maintain their lean body mass; more responsive to therapy
Endogenous energy - Answer Breaking down of fat, then muscles; affects wound healing, immune and
cellular function, cardiac and respiratory systems; ex. cancer patients
Why/when initiate nutritional support? - Answer history of illness or weight loss; BCS of less than 3 of 5

nasal discharge (with cats), tender loving care, providing competition, hand feeding, selection of diets,
different environment (give cats privacy), warm the food, offer your food
Feeding critically ill - Answer feed calculated RER at minimum; need to consume 85% of RER for enteral

gut to the rest of the body); once improved, feed calculated MER; chart the amount feed, technique
used, and type of food

tube, percutaneous endoscopic gastronomy tube, orogastric tube (puppies and kittens with no teeth)

intervention needed), anorexia, increased nutrient demands due to trauma or surgery, increased
nutrient losses
Supportive feeding - What? - Answer high palatability; digestible; high energy density from proteins
and fats, not carbs

too much for stomach)
Clinical nutrition for clinically ill - Water - Answer Initially correct water, electrolyte, and acid-base

calories; fiber minimum (decrease digestibility and bind up important nutrients)
Clinical Nutrition for clinically ill - Protein - Answer Adequate levels of high quality; glutamine, arginine,
novel protein source
Glutamine - Answer important for the increased levels of gluconeogenesis occurring in rapidly dividing
cells; a deficiency can lead to gut mucosal atrophy and an increase in bacterial translocation
Arginine - Answer positive effect on immune system
Novel protein source - Answer protein antigens won't cross the blood stream and set up
hypersensitivity processes
