PART I Wk 10 NTRPatient MalnutritionPatient malnutrition is a very real and serious matter; it can lead to a worsening of the patient's condition, a longer hospital stay, or even be as serious as to contribute to patient death. There are a variety of diseases, conditions, or situations in which patient malnutrition may occur; the malnutrition may develop while in the hospital, but it can also develop outside of the hospital as well. Choose a disease, condition, or situation in which a patient is likely to develop malnutrition and describe the characteristics or details of it. Note how malnutrition might develop in a patient (this could be a result of treatments, financial issues, drug interactions, etc.) and possible consequences of the malnutrition. In addition, discuss how malnutrition may be prevented, managed, or reversed in the patient. Are there specific tests that can be done to determine the nutritional status of your patient?PART IIThis week, you will complete work on the course project you began in Week 5, by submitting a nutritional care plan for the client associated with your case to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.NTR2050 Course ProjectNutritional Care PlanFor this project, you will identify a case study and then develop a nutritional care plan for the client associated with that case. You should begin working on your project in advance of Week 5 as you construct the details of your case. The completed nutritional care plan for your client is due in Week 10.Please read this entire document to gain an understanding of the project scope and those tasks you will complete. This project will take you several weeks to complete. Do not delay beginning the work on this project. When you have completed each part of the project, please submit to the appropriate drop box as a Word document.Project tasks to be completed in Week: 5Task 1:Choose from one of the following stages: pregnancy, infancy and childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age.List the specific nutrition issues affecting individuals in your selected stage.Task 2:Choose a disease or medical condition that could possibly, or commonly, affect your individual. This could be anything ranging from diabetes to cirrhosis.Using the ABCDs of nutritional assessment, create a case study based on an actual client or patient. You can also make one up. Include the following in your case study:Anthropometrics, relevant biochemical tests, clinical assessment, and dietary intake analysis.Be sure to include a list of common medications that may be used to treat your patient's condition and identify potential herb/nutrient/drug interactions that may be relevant.Identify your client's cultural background and give clues as to their socioeconomic status and psychosocial variables. For example, your patient may be a senior living alone on a fixed income or might be living in a nursing facility with reputed staff.Project tasks to be completed during Weeks 6–10 (due during Week 10):Task 1:Create a nutritional care plan for your client. This will include an evaluation of nutritional risk, a list of interventions, and a list of expected outcomes.List the goals of medical nutrition therapy for your patient and suggest an appropriate diet. Does your patient/client require a dietary modification of their regular diet? Are enteral feedings by tube necessary? If so, what formula will you use and why? Describe your recommended method of administration.Task 2:Describe your nutrition education teaching session with your patient and/or their family. What teaching methods will you use (explanation, discussion, demonstration, handouts, etc.)? In your own words, write a paragraph detailing three specific points that you will need to teach your patient about his/her new diet. In addition, give at least one tip to avoid potential herb/nutrient/drug interactions.

The ancient Egyptians most likely used simple machines to build the pyramids. Discuss how you might use one or more of the simple machines to move the massive stone blocks up the growing pyramid, and into their proper places. (Hint: Space aliens are not part of the answer!) How else could you use simple machines?

Just 2-3 sentences for each question that correlates with the attached mapThe map above is a flood risk map for a section of the city of St. Louis, Missouri. The Mississippi river is in the top right corner, the area in blue shading is the designated floodway, and the area in yellow is the estimated flood area for the 100-year flood (although it is protected from the 100-year flood by a levee system). You are a flood insurance salesman selling insurance to the houses marked by the blue and orange dots. Which house (blue or orange) would you charge higher rates to for flood insurance? Why?The owners of the blue house do not want to buy flood insurance, because they are not within the 100-year flood risk zone. Do you agree with the homeowners or would you suggest they purchase flood insurance? Explain your reasoning.The 1993 flood discussed above exceeded the 100-year flood at many locations on the Mississippi River. Knowing this, the owners of the orange house argue that they do not need insurance, because the 100-year flood occurred recently. Do you agree with the homeowners or would you suggest they purchase flood insurance? Explain your reasoning.The owners of the orange house also argue that they do not need flood insurance, because the levee system eliminates the risk of flooding. What would you say to the homeowners to convince them that flood insurance is a good investment? The owners of the blue house are real-estate developers and do not understand why valuable riverfront property is set aside as a floodway. Explain whether you as an insurance salesman would agree on housing development in the floodway (think in terms of economic benefit and risk). Also explain why the homeowners should value the floodway, especially given the location of their house.
