Complication
•Osteoporosis
•Lymphoma of the small intestine
•Infertility
•Autoimmune liver disease
Nursing diagnosis
1. Imbalanced nutrition less than body requirement related to
poor absorption of the nutrients
2. Chronic pain – abdomen related to the disease condition
3. Fluid electrolyte imbalance related to underlying pathology
4. High risk for complication – anemia, bleeding related
reduced thrombin level
5. Risk for infection
6. Alteration in comfort related to the disease condition
7. Anxiety related to the unexpected outcome of the disease
8. Altered parental coping related to the need for long term
care
Nursing interventions
This can be divided as :
Inadequate Disease
Diet
Reduced
Inadequate mental

– A. CLINICAL ( WELLCOME )
– Parameter: weight for age + oedema
– Reference tandard (50th percentile)
– Grades:
• 80-60 % without oedema is under weight
• 80-60% with oedema is Kwashiorkor
• < 60 % with oedema is Marasmus-Kwash
• < 60 % without oedema is Marasmus

Hypothesized Mechanisms
alterations in
development
of CNS
“functional
isolation”
Pathophysiology
Cardiac
– Output, heart rate and blood pressure decrease
– Postural hypotension
Immune system
– T lymphocytes and complement decreased
– Susceptible to bacterial infection
Cytokines (glycoproteins)
– Poor immune response
Pathophysiology
CNS
– Decreased brain growth and myelnation
– Cerebral atrpy
Parental adaptation
– Increased breastfeeding
– Altered expectations
Investigations for PEM
Full blood counts
Blood glucose profile
Septic screening
Stool & urine for parasites & germs
Electrolytes, Ca, P, serum proteins
CXR & Mantoux test
Exclude HIV & malabsorption
Mild to moderate PEM: home based
rehabilitation or ambulatory care
Severe PEM, hospitalization is needed.
Hypoglycemia
Hypothermia
Infections
Dehydration
Anaemia,
Water and electrolyte, imbalance

Severe Malnutrition: Consequences
• Mental development
– Lower IQ levels
– Poorer school performance
• Behaviors of recovered severely malnourished
children
– shy, isolated, withdrawn
– decreased attention span
– immature, emotionally unstable
– fewer peer relationships/reduced social skills
– played less/stayed nearer to mothers
Cognitive development in children with
chronic protein energy malnutrition
Bhoomika Retal
• Twenty children identified as malnourished and
twenty as adequately nourished in the age groups of
5–7 years and 8–10 years were examined.
Conclusion
• Chronic protein energy malnutrition (stunting) affects
the ongoing development of higher cognitive
processes during childhood years rather than merely
showing a generalized cognitive impairment.
NURSING DIAGNOSES
1. Imbalanced nutrition less than body requirement
2. Fluid volume deficit
3. Risk for infection
4. Risk for impaired skin integrity
5. Risk for hypothermia(marasmus)
6. Altered growth and development
7. Altered parental coping
8. Divertional activity deficit
9. Risk for injury
10. Risk for complication- hypoglycemia, anemia,
dehydration
11. Parental anxiety
12. Knowledge deficit
KEY POINT FEEDING
Disease due to
deficiency of Vitamin A
Also Called Xeroma
Absence of tears
Xerophthalmia is most
common in children
aged 1-3 years
Cornea and conjunctiva
become horny and
necrosed
Bitot’s Spots
•Collection of
dried epithelium,
micro organisms
etc. forming shiny
grayish white spot
on the cornea
•A sign of Vitamin
A deficiency
KERATOMALACIA
Ulceration
and softening
of Cornea due
to deficiency
of vitamin A
Bilateral Blindness
Treatment
WHO/UNICEF treatment schedule of
xerophthalmia
Children 1 to 6 years and above
Immediately on diagnosis: 200,000 IU vitamin A
(0)
The following day: 200,000 IU Vit.A(0)
4 weeks later : 200,000IU Vit.A(0)
NICOTINIC ACID DEFICIENCY
Treatment
Nicotinamide,50-300mg OD х 2 Wks
VITAMIN B12 DEFICIENCY
• Pernicious Anemia
• If Hb <4g/dl blood transfusion should always be
given.
• Physical activity until the Hb is >7g/dl.
• Vitamin B12 should be given in a dosage of
1000 mcg IM BDthe first week,
• then 250 mcg weekly until the blood count is
normal.
• Then 1000 mcg every six weeks is given
VITAMIN C DEFICIENCY
Endemic Goiter
Cretinism
Cretinism
Severe form of IDD
Occurs during fetal stage
Interfere with brain development causing brain
damage and death
Result in Growth failure, MR, Speech and hearing
defects
Where do we go from here?
Poverty
reduction Economic growth
Increased
productivity Improved child Social sector
nutrition investments
Enhanced human
capital
From UNICEF, State of the World’s Children: Adapted from Stuart Gillespie, John
Mason and Reynaldo Martorell, How nutrition improves, ACC/SCN, Geneva 1996.
OBESITY
Most Prevalent form of malnutrition
Abnormal growth of adipose tissue due to enlargement
of fat cells(Hypertrophic),Increase in no. of fat cells
(hyperplasic)or Combination of both
OBESITY
Obesity - When the body weight is 20% more than the
desirable weight.
Over weight - When the body weight is between 10-
20% more than the desirable weight
BMI
BMI= Height in kilogram
(Weight in Meter)2
20-25 IDEAL
26-30 OVERWEIGHT
31-40 OBESE
40+ VERY OBESE
