Mr. D is a 75 year-old male who lives alone in his own home. He
has unintentionally lost about 5lbs in the past month. He reports
that he’s been eating less due to lack of appetite and because he
doesn't feel motivated to prepare food just for himself. He also
has difficulty chewing (due to dentures) and tends to avoid meats
or other tough foods. You also learn that he is pretty sedentary
and does not spend much time outside.
1) What are 3 specific nutrition/health related concerns
you have for Mr. D and why?
2) What would be 3 recommendations you have for him in
order to improve his nutrition/health status? (You may include
relevant environmental/social factors.)
