  Primary nutritional groups - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An organism may be placed into one each of the three pairs of major nutritional groups based on their carbon, energy, and electron sources.
Some eukaryotic microorganisms, however, are not limited to just one nutritional mode.
Some bacteria are limited to only one nutritional group, whereas others are facultative and switch from one mode to the other, depending on the nutrient sources available.

 Nutrition Assessment - UNIT BACKGROUND
Primary malnutrition due to limited food intake has been reported among children in economically deprived populations such as in ghettos of the big cities, the Mississippi Delta, the foothills of Kentucky, and the coal fields of West Virginia.
When nutritional deficits occur over extended periods, clinical lesions indicative of overt or clinical nutritional deficiencies are manifested such as growth retardation, or problems with the eyes and parts of the mouth.
Nutrition assessment is the first step toward the development of a nutritional care plan and toward the treatment of malnutrition as a result of either over- or undernutrition.

 European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel : Nutritional Guidelines, English
Nutritional assessment may also include nutritional intake over the past one, three or seven days; this information may be gathered using 24-hour recall, self or carer reported food intake records or through the involvement of a dietician, where available.
The success of nutritional intervention should be reviewed within the on-going regular nutritional assessments and may be indicated by outcomes such as increased weight or improved functional ability and/or enhanced health-related quality of life.
Regular evaluation of the effects of nutritional interventions is required but it should be borne in mind that where individuals are malnourished the effects of feeding and/or supplementation may not be immediately apparent, probably because there first needs to be a restoration of already depleted reserves.

Nutrition education imparts basic life skills and is intended to instill and reinforce appropriate dietary patterns within a given social and economic context.
Nutrition education in schools should also be seen as a valuable entry point for building the capacity of both the school and community to respond to important food, nutrition and health needs.

One way to gather information on nutritional requirements and feeding patterns is to ask families to prepare a record of each child's nutritional intake and feeding schedule over a period of time.
Discussions with parents on nutritional needs and treatment strategies that can be followed during program hours and at home further support this process; and providing staff and parents with information on typical growth patterns is another method that is used to facilitate the identification of unusual, nutrition-related situations.
Nutritional needs and requirements are met by serving a variety of healthy foods, including breads and other grain products, vegetables, fruits, meat and meat alternates (such as eggs, nuts, seeds, dry beans, peas, and cheese), and milk and milk products (yogurt and cheese).

 MALNUTRITION AND DEFICIENCY DISEASES
The special research studies were made on groups of presumably healthy troops under field conditions, giving information on the prevalence of the mild or slight forms of the deficiency, and on special groups such as prisoners of war and patients in hospitals with advanced deficiency disease.
It was this group which was of particular concern from the point of view of preventive medicine because of the subtle effect of such disease on efficiency and morale.
For example, the nutritional survey of troops in the Pacific theater showed that although troops fresh from combat had some caloric deficiency, as evidenced by loss of weight, their physical fitness was equal to that of troops in the Zone of Interior and in at least one instance, superior.
