Alteration in Metabolism\tPathophysiology\tRisk Factors\tAssessment Findings (including Labs)\tPossible Nursing Diagnosis\tInterventions (including Medications)
\nObesity\tExcess body fat\tLifestyle choices, genetics, unhealthy diets, high fat consumption, inactivity, age, pregnancy, lack of sleep, certain medications, certain diseases, stress, smoking\tWeight gain, increased waist circumference, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, sleep apnea, heart disease, stroke, cancer\tImbalanced Nutrition: More than Body Requirements, Risk for Injury, Risk for Impaired Physical Mobility\tLifestyle changes (diet, exercise), medication (e.g., orlistat, phentermine), surgery (e.g., gastric bypass)
\nHyperthyroidism\tOveractive thyroid gland\tAutoimmune disease, thyroiditis, tumors, iodine deficiency\tWeight loss, increased appetite, heat intolerance, sweating, anxiety, palpitations, tremors, fatigue, diarrhea, menstrual irregularities\tHyperthyroidism, Risk for Injury, Risk for Altered Tissue Perfusion\tMedication (e.g., methimazole, propylthiouracil), surgery (thyroidectomy)
\nHypothyroidism\tUnderactive thyroid gland\tAutoimmune disease, thyroiditis, iodine deficiency, surgery, radiation therapy, certain medications\tWeight gain, decreased appetite, cold intolerance, fatigue, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, hoarseness, menstrual irregularities\tHypothyroidism, Risk for Injury, Risk for Constipation\tMedication (e.g., levothyroxine), lifestyle changes (diet, exercise)
\nIt is important to note that these are just some of the possible alterations in metabolism that can occur in these conditions. The specific findings will vary depending on the individual patient.<\/p>\n
It is also important to note that these conditions are not mutually exclusive. For example, a patient with obesity may also have hypothyroidism, or a patient with hyperthyroidism may also have obesity.<\/p>\n
If you are concerned that you or someone you know may have an alteration in metabolism, please see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
