Present the identified disorder or disease process and discuss the need for nutritional support. Discuss elements of a dietary assessment for the chosen disorder or need and present a plan for meeting nutritional needs, including patient teaching, patient and family/caregiver support, and available resources. Include expected patient outcomes. Review the grading rubric below for the required elements.
Identify the disease or disorder and summarize nutritional needs and recommendations for patients with the disease or disorder.
Discuss at least three elements of a dietary assessment for the chosen disorder.
Plan four nutritional interventions to include:
Nutrition therapy or therapeutic diet
Patient and/or family or caregiver teaching
Support is available to assist the patient and/or family or caregiver. What is available locally, such as support groups, continued nutritional teaching, or support.
Resources available to assist the patient and/or family or caregiver. National or local resources to provide nutritional guidance.
Describe at least three expected patient outcomes from following the nutritional plan of care.
Include title and reference slides.
Each slide needs to have speaker notes-please read below on purpose and how to create speaker notes (Creating a PowerPoint Presentation).
The presentation will have 5-7 slides, excluding title and reference.
Grammar, spelling, punctuation, references, and citations are consistent with formal academic writing and APA format as expressed in the 7th edition.
Include at least two current (within the past 5 years) scholarly resources. References may include scholarly websites of organizations or government agencies and must be presented using APA format for electronic media.
Full Answer Section
- Provide recommendations for macronutrient intake, including carbohydrates, protein, and fat.
Slide 3: Dietary Assessment Elements
- Dietary History: Gather information about the patient's typical diet, including frequency of meals, portion sizes, and food preferences.
- Carbohydrate Counting: Teach patients how to count carbohydrates to help manage blood sugar levels.
- Monitoring Blood Glucose: Encourage patients to monitor their blood glucose levels regularly and adjust their diet as needed.
Slide 4: Nutritional Interventions
- Nutrition Therapy or Therapeutic Diet: Recommend a balanced diet that emphasizes whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and low-fat dairy products.
- Patient and Family/Caregiver Teaching: Provide education on carbohydrate counting, portion control, and meal planning.
- Support Services: Refer patients to registered dietitians, diabetes educators, and support groups for ongoing support and guidance.
Slide 5: Expected Patient Outcomes
- Improved Blood Sugar Control: Patients should experience improved blood sugar control through adherence to the nutritional plan.
- Weight Management: Patients may lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, which can help improve blood sugar control and reduce the risk of complications.
- Reduced Risk of Complications: Following a healthy diet can help reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications, such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.
