This is after Mr. Garcia been seen by a RDN and made changes do his diet and nutrition education before leaving the hospital. The changes included:
1. No added salt / low saturated fat
2. Low cholesterol
3. Pre-diabetic (based of glucose lab)
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 suggested the following:
1. Mr. Garcia should consume more fiber (soluble and insoluble)
2. Mr. Garcia was interested in taking fish oil supplements (I was thinking added more omega-3 to his diet)
3. Mr. Garcia is very dehydrated (nursing assessment: skin turgor = TENT)
So now that Mr. Garcia left and received education and made diet changes, we are now seeing him and his wife 4 weeks later as an outpatient.
