An 87-year-old female widow admitted to the hospital with shortness of breath and pneumonia. Her stated height is 5 feet 4 inches. She reports a usual weight of 145 pounds recorded at her doctor visit 3 months ago. Her daughter—who is her primary caretaker—states she has chronic dry mouth, which has resulted in numerous dental cavities and a sensitivity to hot or spicy foods. She states "food just doesn't taste as good as it used to" although she enjoys occasional meals in restaurants with her family. The patient states she can no longer eat many of her favorite foods due to her sensitive mouth. Her usual home diet includes cereal or toast for breakfast, a shake made with soy milk, peanut butter, and instant breakfast mix for lunch, and a frozen dinner in the evenings. Her weight at admission is 128 pounds. She takes several prescription medications each day, including a diuretic, blood thinner, beta blocker, and pain medication. She wears hearing aids and prefers to have her daughter answer most of her health-related questions. 1) Determine this patient’s nutritional status screening score. Compare this score to your evaluation of her condition using the Subjective Global Assessment. Which classification (A, B, or C) most closely matches her condition? 2) Calculate her BMI and determine her weight status. What is her risk of malnutrition when you compare her actual weight to her usual body weight? 3) Describe how her medical conditions may affect her nutritional status. 4) Write a nutrition diagnosis to address her food intake and resulting weight loss. State the diagnosis as a PES statement: Problem, Etiology, Signs or Symptoms.
