My role-play and research paper should related to my topic, which is
Multiple food allergies: IgE allergy to wheat, peanut and milk.
Part A: Role-play requirements:
1. Create a role-play situation where you (the dietitian) are obtaining information from a
patient prior to counseling on the diet that the person has been advised to follow by
their physician. Prepare a script for you and your partner, but practice several times so
that you don’t have to read off the script.
2. This is the patient’s first visit to you and the two of you are getting to know each other.
This is an opportunity for you to practice your listening and interviewing skills.
Consult Ch. 15 in the textbook, pgs. 329-336 for a review of Motivational Interviewing
and The Transtheoretical Model for Change
•
One person will be the interviewer (counselor), the other the client or patient. You
will gather information from the client about his or her history and current problem.
•
Use motivational interviewing techniques to interview and very briefly counsel.
The goal is to guide the patient around to deciding that he or she wants to make one
or two changes.
•
The techniques of a 24-hour recall (dinner only) and b) usual intake should be
used. The total session for both students should be kept to 5 minutes.
Part B. Written Paper– Read and Follow this entire guideline for this
major paper.
1. Title Page including all standard information and class section.
2. Table of Contents Page after title page and Grading Rubric stapled at end of paper.
3. Reflection summaries of counseling session from each student. (one page).
4. RESEARCH PAPER: Minimum length: 6 pages (max. of 10 pages), 1 inch
margins, double spaced: Before you begin, please review the Grading Rubric for
this Project. Your reflection is not included in the page length requirement. Writing
composition skills will be evaluated.
*Notice*: If your paper is insufficient in length and depth, you will NOT earn a good
grade. Journal articles must be from 2012 to present time. Please see me in person for
exceptions. Specific guidelines for the paper and menu are detailed below:
A. Use and cite from a minimum of 4 Peer-Reviewed Journals e.g., Journal of the
AND, Am. Journal of Clinical Nutrition, New Eng. Journal of Medicine, etc.
(Peer review: editors of academic journals keep quality high and assure that poorly done
research is not published. Experts on the topic critique articles that authors propose.
Editors consider critiques, ask authors to make revisions, and then decide whether to
publish the article).
B. Mandatory use of Nutrition Care Manual and/or Pedi Nutrition Care Manual
C. Your textbook as well as Government, University and Med School websites may
provide helpful information to help you understand the topic but cannot be cited
or included on the Works Cited Page. Must use > 4 Peer-Reviewed journal
articles PLUS AND Nutr. Care Manuals for your information in the paper.
D. AMA format for citation & references. Works Cited page. Include citations as
appropriate in the body of paper. Refer to Perdue OWL for AMA format.
E. Paper organization:
1. Introduction: Briefly discuss the medical condition first
2. Research Paper Content- disease/disorder
Include the latest evidence-based, research on the medical condition Thorough,
detailed review of the disease/disorder, considering causation,
pathophysiology, progression, laboratory values, damage to organs/body
systems. Use most recent research available, not necessarily the reference that
you can find first! At least two references for this portion must be from
peer-reviewed journals and use the AND Nutrition Care Manual Conditions
section as well.
3. Research Paper Content-Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)
Thorough discussion of MNT, including controversies and/or recent changes in
recommended MNT based on the newest research. Include adjunctive
nutritional therapies when appropriate, e.g., probiotics, antioxidants, omega-3
fatty acids. Consider weight changes due to the disease, the potential for
macro and micronutrient deficiencies. Discuss evidence-based rationale for
recommended diet. Include components of the diet: foods included, added or
emphasized and excluded. Explain when necessary. Discuss any current
controversies about diet recommendations. At least two references for this
portion must be from peer-reviewed journals and use the AND Nutrition Care
Manual Diet Education section as well.
4. Comprehensive summary/conclusion, demonstrating critical thinking
F. Prepare 1-day menu with 3 meals, 2 snacks: Creativity and disease
appropriateness will be assessed. Use as a basis for the menu
www.choosemyplate.gov/MyPlate-Daily-Checklist-input (you will have to add fats to
the diet): Complete Food Plan on 2nd page, adding in fats as appropriate. Print and
submit both pages. Don’t forget add-ons such as oil to cook with.
a. ESHA Analysis: Establish fictional patient. Print two reports: Bar Graph and
Pie Chart.
b. Complete and print the MyPlate information as detailed above. Staple reports to
paper.
c. Print out your menu that is written in a professional manner and staple to paper.
d. Do not print or include food lists.
Make every effort to meet all your client’s needs for macronutrient distribution and
micronutrients! Accepted range for micronutrients: 75-250% of recommended.
In paragraph form, discuss recommendations for calories and other nutrients that are
central to the condition, such as Protein, CHO, fiber or sodium. For all nutrients: If
you are unable after several menu revisions, to meet goals for a few of the nutrients,
write a brief essay listing which foods could be added to the diet on other days to supply
more of those nutrients. If you don’t think this is feasible, you might suggest vitamin
or mineral supplementation. Be specific. Beware of making erroneous statements.
Example: “kale is an excellent calcium source”. Look up the actual grams of the
nutrient and compare to a rich food source for that nutrient before you make such a
statement.
Print rubric on next page and staple it in to your project before
submitting.
