Surgical patients represent a unique population requiring specialized nutrition assessment and intervention. Understanding the pathophysiology and basic surgical anatomy of various procedures is essential to determining and implementing appropriate MNT, which impact patient outcomes, including morbidity and mortality. More specifically this comprehensive CPE program will enable you to:

  • Discuss enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) initiatives and explain necessary nutrition interventions to improve surgical outcomes.
  • Formulate MNT plans for patients receiving common gastrointestinal, cardiothoracic, trauma, and transplant surgical procedures.
  • Recommend appropriate nutrition support interventions for surgical patients based on the surgical procedure, changes to anatomy, and potential complications.
  • Identify common vitamin and mineral deficiencies associated with specific surgical procedures and make recommendations for replacement.
  • Describe common complications of surgical procedures and formulate appropriate MNT for management.

OVERVIEW AND INSTRUCTIONS

Surgical patients represent a unique population requiring specialized nutrition assessment and intervention. Understanding the pathophysiology and basic surgical anatomy of the procedures these patients receive is essential to determining and implementing appropriate interventions. Interventions vary greatly across various surgical procedures and significantly impact patient outcomes, including morbidity and mortality. Additionally, a variety of vitamin and mineral deficiencies occur as a result of surgery and can contribute to poor outcomes if not identified and corrected. Nutrition and dietetics practitioners must possess a thorough understanding of all aspects of clinical care for surgical patients to make positive impacts and improve outcomes.
This CPE program is a level 2 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) program approved for eleven (11) continuing professional education units (CPEUs). That means that the reader has a general knowledge of literature and professional practice in the area covered. The focus of the program is to enhance knowledge and application.

To get the most benefit from this program, we suggest you adhere to the following four steps:
Step 1: Review the objectives for the CPE program.
Step 2: Study each chapter. As you read, think of patients from your own practice who fit the situation described.
Step 3: Assess what you have learned by completing the self-assessment instrument at the end of this CPE program.
Step 4: Compare your answers to the answer key that has been provided. If you score at least 80% (40 questions) correct, you are ready to transfer your answers to the CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION REPORTING FORM. If you scored less than 80% correct, re-read the appropriate sections of the book and re-test yourself until you score at least 80% (40 questions) correct.
