Mr.Green is a 57-year-old man with an aggressive prostate cancer. He is being cared by a nursing team at the oncology department of a public hospital in Brisbane, QLD, Australia. Mr. Green was diagnosed with prostate cancer seven years ago but declined medical and surgical therapy. He elected to seek other treatment and did not return to the urologist for seven years. Mr. Green is now suffering from anemia and hypoproteinemia. Following a series of diagnostic tests, it was determined that the cancer had metastasized to his bones, had expanded locally to his lymph nodes, and that the primary tumor was invading the bladder and partially blocking the left kidney. Mr. Green had many admissions over the course of two months for a variety of reasons.

Ms. Mellon is a 43year old woman who has lived in a Residential Habilitation Center from age 11 to 40. For the last three years she has been in a Tenant Support Program. This past year staff noticed that she had begun to lose weight. This became a concern because she had always been rather slender. Staff had encouraged her to eat more and had routinely prepared the foods she liked the most. Still, she was losing weight and was about 15 pounds below her ideal weight.
