Nutritional assessment
In this activity, we complete a nutritional assessment based on two members of the same
family with some dietary disorders. A summary of objective and subjective elements will be
discussed, including the nutritional problems they face.
A nutritional assessment was conducted on a father aged 45 years and his daughter aged
nine years. The objective elements for the father were that when the blood samples were tested
for glucose, it was found that it had an A1C of above 6.7%. When pushed through the Snellen
chart, it was seen that the patient had a 20/40 rating on the chart, meaning it was becoming
blurred. The patient was tested on the weight and compared to the standard, and it was very high
that he was obese. The limbs had a minimal range of motion as I was examining the arms. They
also tended to be painful if stretched extra, producing some crackling sound. The patient seemed
to be tiring ...
