Instructions
EG is a 76-year-old female who presents to your outpatient
clinic. After her husband died 2 years ago, EG moved to the
United States from Tel Aviv, Israel. She now lives with her adult
son and his family in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Her physician is
concerned because she has experienced an unintentional
weight loss over the past six months. EG is fluent in English, so
a translator isn't necessary for your visit. However, she is
unfamiliar with medical terminology and medical jargon.
During your interview, you learn that EG strictly adheres to
Kashrut, or the Jewish dietary laws. She typically eats 3 meals
per day, but she finds large meals stressful and frustrating. "My
family always tells me to eat more at my meals, but I feel full and
tired quickly."
