Question
B/P: 140/99
Consider his ethnicity (Mexican American)
Mr. Garcia’s dietary changes included:
1. No added salt / low saturated fat
2. Low cholesterol
4. Has no food allergies
5. His wife does the majority of cooking and shopping (she started to use corn oil to cook with and not fry foods as often)
6. Household 5 (his daughter and two grandkids live with him and Mrs. Garcia)
I suggest the following:
1. Mr. Garcia should consume more fiber (soluble and insoluble)
He has high b/p and constipation 
2. Mr. Garcia was interested in taking fish oil supplements (I was thinking about more omega-3 to his diet-added food, not pills)
3. Mr. Garcia is very dehydrated (nursing assessment:
skin turgor = TENT)
