Module 2 Chapter 02 Lab

The document discusses a case study about Jeffrey, a Native American student adjusting to college life away from home. Jeffrey is used to a diet of fresh vegetables and fish from living on a reservation in Idaho. His mother is concerned about his health transitioning to college and has set up an appointment for him to meet with a nurse practitioner and dietitian. The case study then prompts the reader to work through the nursing process to assess Jeffrey's situation, make a nursing diagnosis, develop a plan and goals, provide implementation strategies, and consider evaluation outcomes to help Jeffrey maintain a healthy diet in his new college environment.

MODULE 2 LABORATORY WORK

Chapter 2: Planning a Healthy Diet

Objectives

After studying this chapter, you should be able to:


1. Define a balanced diet
2. List the U.S. government’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans and explain the reasons for
each
3. Identify the food groups and their placement on MyPyramid
4. Describe information commonly found on food labels
5. List some food customs of various cultural groups
6. Describe the development of food customs

Discussion Question 1

Pick a country that grows a particular food item or items and uses them as main staples in their
own diet. Use the nursing process to answer the following questions and formulate a solution to
the problem caused by eating that particular food item.

1. What vitamins, minerals, or nutrients may be deficient?


Deficiencies in iron, iodine, vitamin A and zinc are the main manifestations of
malnutrition in developing countries.
2. What diseases occur commonly as a result of the dietary deficiency?
Marasmus and kwashiorkor (the 2 forms of protein– energy malnutrition)
3. What additional food sources do they need?
They need vegetables, dairies, carbs and also minerals.
4. How widespread is the disease? Does it affect adults or children, or both?
It is globally the most important risk factor for illness and death, with hundreds of
millions of pregnant women and young children particularly affected.
5. Are there humanitarian efforts taking place in that country to aid in prevention or cure
of those diseases caused by the dietary deficiency?
To prevent protein energy malnutrition range from promoting breast-feeding to food
supplementation schemes, whereas micronutrient deficiencies would best be
addressed through food-based strategies such as dietary diversification through home
gardens and small livestock. The fortification of salt with iodine has been a global
success story, but other micronutrient supplementation schemes have yet to reach
vulnerable populations sufficiently.

Use the nursing process to plan, set goals, implement, or present to the class and let the class
evaluate how clearly it is presented and how relevant and successful they think the project would
be. The project should include topics such as planning a budget, fund raising, how to allocate,
store, ship, and deliver to the need areas, and the manpower needed to perform the operation.

Case in Point—Jeffrey: Planning a Healthy Diet

Jeffrey, a Native American Indian, has lived on his reservation in Idaho all his life. He and his family
have enjoyed fresh home-grown vegetables, and fish has been a staple in his diet. Jeff attended the local
reservation high school and earned a scholarship to move from Idaho to attend Arizona University in
Scottsdale. Jeff’s mother is concerned about his health. She knows that Jeff will experience some foods
that may not be very good for him. She wants him to be aware of the consequences of alcohol, fast foods,
and drugs.
Upon freshmen orientation, she sets up a meeting for Jeff in the student health clinic. He will be
seeing a nurse practitioner and a dietitian.

habits.
