Nutrition and HIV
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page research paper that discusses the relationship between nutrition and HIV. Extreme weight loss frequently occurs among HIV-positive patients. Known as HIV wasting, weight loss can occur for a variety of reasons, which include cognitive impairment and difficult in swallowing, but it can also occur due to altered “gonadal, adrenal and thyroid function” (Ungvarski, 1996, p. 26). Nurses play a crucial role in combating HIV wasting through educational interventions with HIV asymptomatic patients, as well as acting as a resource for information on successful interventions that can be employed when HIV wasting strikes (Ungvarski, 1996).

Nutrition Therapy/Neurological Disorders
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page research paper that discusses nutrition and muscular degenerative disorders. The writer argues that the neurological disorders that the student is investigating, i.e., Guillian-Barre (GB), myasthenia gravis (MG), Parkinson's disease (PD), spinal cord injury (SCI) and multiple sclerosis (MS), have the common factor, from a nutritional point of view, of entailing the danger of developing myopathies. In each of these cases, and for a variety of physiological reasons, muscle protein depletion occurs at a faster pace and is far more extensive than would normally occur from inactivity (Burnham, Moss and Ziegler, 2005). Nutritional implications are discussed. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Nutrition’s Role in Wound Healing
[ send me this essay ]
A 12 page paper discussing non-oral nutritional delivery in wound patients. One aspect of the relationship of wound healing and nutrition that has not been researched quite so well lies in the common belief that enteral (through the intestines) methods of delivering nutrition are superior to parenteral (bypassing the intestines) methods. Recent studies have concluded that enteral feeding does indeed produce better results. These findings raise managerial issues that the results of the research efforts can inform. The paper also discusses the issue from the perspective of management theory, organizational concerns and implication for nursing practice. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Nutritional & Nursing Aspects Of A Patient Experiencing Acute Renal Failure And Dialysis
[ send me this essay ]
9 pages in length. Dealing with patients who are terminally ill with renal failure and receiving hemodialysis treatments means it is important to remember that physical pain is not the only kind of suffering they endure. Sometimes the emotional devastation is more to bear than the physical side; without the mind remaining strong for the body, it is very difficult to effect positive change even with the best of medical technology. As well, because animal proteins are much more difficult to process than vegetable and grain protein, dialysis patients are often recommended to adopt a vegetarian diet. It is a known fact that the one aspect of diabetes – a primary cause of renal failure – that cannot be overlooked is the ability to eat small amounts several times a day. The writer discusses nutritional and nursing aspects of someone experiencing acute renal failure and dialysis. Bibliography lists 14 sources.
