Question
Are there any vitamins and minerals Neal might have inadequate intakes of based on his 24 hour recall? How would you recommend he adjust his food intake to meet his needs for these nutrients?
Older Adult Nutrition Case Study Neal, a 70-year-old man, lives alone in a home in a local suburban area. His wife died 1 year ago. He doesn't have many friends; his wife was his primary confidante. His neighbors across the street and next door are friendly, and Neal used to help them with yard projects in his spare time. Neal's health has been good, but he has had trouble with his teeth recently. His diet has been poor, and in the past 3 months his physical and mental vigor have deteriorated. He has been slowly lapsing into a depression and, so, keeps the shades drawn and rarely leaves his house. Neal keeps very little food in the house because his wife did most of the cooking and they would shop together for groceries. Neal really only buys cereal, milk and coffee when he goes to the store. He doesn't bother with vegetables and can't eat fruit because of his teeth. They never really ate any nuts. He drinks a lot of regular soft drinks and boiled peanuts while in front of the TV. A nurse recently visited Neal and found his blood pressure to be 128/82 mmHg. His diet recall included the following: Breakfast: black coffee, corn flakes and milk Lunch: A can of cream of chicken soup with toast, more coffee Dinner: A serving of lasagna from a local diner, a can of coke Neal is 6'2" and weighs 170 pounds.
