Sports Physical Visit Ana is seen 4 months later (in early fall) by her pediatrician for a sports physical, since she is planning to join the cross-country running team. Weight at this time is 96 pounds. The physician notes that Ana seems to be tired and has lost weight since her most recent visit to the clinic.

Mrs. Harris is a thin, 84-year-old widow who is a resident of a long-term care nursing facility. She had a CVA 1 ½ years ago and suffers from right hemiplegia and dementia. She is also incontinent of urine and stool and is confined to her bed or wheelchair. She recently had a bout of pneumonia and was admitted to acute care. She has now returned to the nursing home, having lost 7 lbs over the last three weeks. She is very weak and her blood work indicates that she is anemic.
What factors indicate that Mrs. Harris is at risk for the development of decubitus ulcers? Include a brief reason for each factor.

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.

Wei uses he/him/his pronouns. He is more tired than usual, dragging through his workdays despite going to bed earlier and napping on the weekends. He doesn't have much of an appetite and has started losing weight. When he presses on the side of his neck he notices an unusual lump. Wei goes to his doctor, who performs a physical exam and determines that the lump is a swollen lymph node. Lymph nodes are part of the immune system, and they will often become enlarged when the body is fighting off an infection. Dr. Bouazizi thinks that the swollen lymph node and fatigue could be signs of a viral or bacterial infection, or indicate a type of cancer called lymphoma. However, an infection is a more likely cause, particularly in a young person like Wei. Dr. Bouazizi prescribes an antibiotic in case Wei has a bacterial infection and advises him to return in a few weeks if his lymph node does not shrink or if he is not feeling better. Wei returns a few…arrow_forward
