FOOD AND DRUG
ADMINISTRATION (FDA)
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a government agency
established in 1906 with the passage of the Federal Food and Drugs Act.
The agency is separated into divisions that oversee a majority of the
organization's obligations involving food, drugs, cosmetics, animal food,
dietary supplements, medical devices, biological goods, and blood
products.
The FDA is known for its work in regulating the development of new
drugs. The FDA has developed rules regarding the clinical trials that must
be done on all new medications. Pharmaceutical companies must test
drugs through four phases of clinical trials before they can be marketed to
individuals.
The FDA inspects and reviews production
facilities that make products like food, medicine,
tobacco, and other items regulated by the
agency.
The FDA gives approval to regulated products
before they can be sold in the U.S.
FDA has the power to recall products on the
market, if necessary, for safety and other
reasons.
GOALS OF FOOD AND DRUG

•To protect and promote the right to health of the
Filipino people by ensuring the safety, efficacy,
quality, and purity of foods, drugs, devices, and
cosmetics, and
•To establish and maintain an effective health
products regulatory system responsive to the
country’s health needs and problems.
HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY
AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT (HIPAA)
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule, intended
to address potential threats to patient privacy posed by the computerization and
standardization of medical records, provides a new floor level of federal protection for
health information. The Privacy Rule limits the circumstances under which Covered
Entities can use or disclose protected health information (PHI),requiring, with some
exceptions, authorization from the patient to permit uses and disclosures of PHI for
research. “Health information” is defined as “any information, whether oral or recorded
in any form or medium, that:
1) is created or received by a health care provider, health plan, public health
authority, employer, life insurer, school or university, or health care
clearinghouse; and
2) relates to the past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition
of an individual, the provision of health care to an individual, or the past,
present, or future payment for the provision of health care to an individual.”

ETHICO-MORAL
PRINCIPLES RELATED
TO CULTURAL AND
SPIRITUAL
PREFERENCES
NUTRITIONAL GENOMICS
Nutritional genomics is the scientific field of
study that investigates the relationship
between nutrition, genes, and health. As the
term nutritional genomics suggests,
'nutritional' focuses on the foods we
consume, while 'genomics' focuses on the
genes or DNA unique to each person.

TWO OPPOSING DISCIPLINES
OF NUTRITIONAL GENOMICS
NUTRIGENOMICS
-is an area of nutrition that investigates how the food we
consume affects our genes. Different nutrients in foods can
turn on or turn off certain genes associated with diseases
ranging from inflammation to cancer. Nutrigenomics looks
at the molecular understanding of how specific nutrients in
foods affect our genes.
NUTRIGENETICS
-investigate how an individual's DNA can
influence how that person responds to different
foods and nutrients. Each person is born with
genetic variants. If a person lacks a certain gene,
then one cannot metabolize certain foods and
their components.
NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT AND
END-OF-LIFE DECISION MAKING
Nutritional support in palliative care
aims to improve the quality of life of the
patient through the control of symptoms
associated with food, prioritizing the
desires of the individual.
Nutrition support alone does not reverse or cure
a disease or injury. It is adjunctive therapy that
enables a patient to meet nutrient needs during
curative or palliative therapy. Nutrition support
via a feeding tube or intravenous catheter is a
lifesaving therapy for patients who are unable to
meet nutrient needs orally.
SOCIAL, POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC
ISSUES AND CONCERNS AFFECTING
NUTRITION CARE
Political Factors
-Changing tax legislation, consumer protection
and employment regulations, and insurance
mandates are all elements in the political sphere
that could have an impact on healthcare.
Economic Factors
-Unemployment, inflation, and interest rates
are examples of economic issues that both
directly and indirectly influence the financial
performance of healthcare organizations. These
changing conditions can have an impact on
public spending policies and your purchasing
power.
Sociocultural Factors
A PEST analysis for healthcare should also
identify changes in demographics, values,
and beliefs of your various consumer
groups.
