Pediatric Health Care and Nutrition

Nutrition is the proper maintenance of well-balanced diet which consists of the essential nutrients and adequate caloric intake required to promote growth and sustain the physiological requirements at various stages of a child’s development. Nutritional needs considerably vary with age, level of activity, and environmental conditions and all of them directly relate to the rate of growth. Generally, an average child expends 55% of energy on metabolic maintenance, 25% on activity, 12% on growth and 8% on excretion. 

Inadequate nutrition during the phase of critical growth period results in retarded development or illness, like anemia, scurvy etc., On the other hand over feeding in the early childhood years lead to obesity or hypervitaminosis. In all such cases pediatric nurse plays a key role in educating and giving nutritional guidance for good eating habits.
