Bone Health (graded, 25 points) Mrs. Law, a 77-year-old female, is at home recovering from surgery that she had after falling and breaking her hip 5 days ago. She lives with her husband, Dean, who helps to care for her. Mrs. Law is a former smoker and has a past medical history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia. You are the visiting nurse, assigned to check on her postoperative progress. You ask the client how she is feeling, do an assessment, and inquire as to what she has eaten over the past 24 hours. Mrs. Law states that she has “No pep, no appetite, has been taking her pain medication as prescribed (every 4 hours—but not real helpful!), cannot sleep well, doesn’t feel much like walking, except for to the bathroom, and has been unable to move her bowels for several days.”

Personal Food Diary (graded, 25 points)

In Units 1, 3, 5, and 7, you will be posting a 24-hour food and activity diary. The purpose of this discussion is to help explore your own dietary habits and assess eating behaviors. Using MyPlate.gov, you will be able to observe a snapshot of your personal behaviors. Each unit will have a different focus on specific nutritional concepts. In addition to your initial post of the food and activity diary, you will examine one other student’s diary from a nursing perspective and offer feedback on ways to promote healthy living.

In Unit 5, you will review your vitamin and mineral intake through MyPlate.gov. Again, this unit you will look at your activity level and how your 24-hour diary compares to your RDA.
