During this course, each student will be assigned a hypothetical patient presented in a case study. Students are expected to study the presented patient in the case study and design appropriate nutrition care plan. After completing the case studies, the students will be able to:
1. Apply knowledge of the pathophysiology of the disease condition in order to identify and explain common nutritional problems associated with this disease.
2. Describe basic principles of drug action required for medical treatment of the disease.
3. Discuss the rationale for nutrition
recommendations to minimize adverse symptoms of the disease.
4. Interpret pertinent laboratory parameters for
nutritional implications and significance.
5. Analyze nutrition assessment data to evaluate
nutritional status and identify specific nutrition problems.
6. Determine nutrition diagnoses and write appropriate
PES statements.
7. Develop a nutrition care plan—with appropriate
measurable goals, interventions, and strategies for monitoring and
evaluation—that addresses the nutrition diagnoses of the case study.
