Nutrition Assignment

Part I The Diet

Include the following in Part I:

Criterion 1: Determine if the person’s diet is deficient or in excess of CHO, PRO, and fat and explain why.
Criterion 2: Explain in detail how the person’s diet meets or does not meet the RDA for
five or more micronutrients.

Part II Disease and Nutrition

Include the following in Part II:

Criterion 1: Explain how the person’s diet would affect the patient’s disease symptoms
and progression. Provide a minimum of three examples of how specific foods affect the

disease pathophysiology. Provide examples of foods the person should avoid, and those

he/she should consume.

Criterion 2: Explain how food interacts with the medications this patient takes. What are
the nutrient-related side effects of the medication? What are the nutrient restrictions and

recommendations for the medications?

o Example: Iron supplements cause constipation, so people are

advised to increase fiber foods; however, if a person is taking fiber

with iron, the fiber will reduce the absorption of the iron thus

decreasing the effectiveness of the iron.

Part III Patient Education

Include the following in part III:

Criterion 1: Calculate the following for the patient: BMI, BMR, CHO, PRO, and fat
needs and any other relevant calculations that will help you develop a nutritional plan for

your patient.

Criterion 2: Develop an evidence-based nutritional education plan with three SMART
goals for your patient. Provide specific nursing strategies and examples for the patient,

and consider all aspects of the patient’s lifestyle.

I need you to use peer-reviewed journals: the most resent journal with in the last 3 years.
