Nutrition is an indispensable component of care. It is from food intake that the body obtains the micro and macro nutrients needed to maintain and improve health. Diet is also an area of regulation for the management of chronic diseases such as diabetes. Care plans focused on nutrition necessarily must be individualized to take into account unique needs arising from specific medical conditions, the client’s developmental stage, and cultural preferences. Developing a care plan entails evaluating for nutritional risk, defining the goals of nutrition therapy, identifying interventions and expected outcomes, implementing the interventions, providing education, and promoting safety.

Part I. Cultural and Family Assessment

Culture and family are oftentimes neglected during patient assessment, especially when the person is viewed only in terms of disease, causes and treatment. However, providing holistic care that encompasses all aspects of the patient’s life has the potential to improve patient outcomes. In nursing theory, Callista Roy and Madeleine Leininger refer to culture as a belief system, a worldview through which the patient perceives health, care, nursing and the world in general (George, 2011). It is transmitted from one generation to the next through interaction in social institutions such as the family, ...

• Client’s BMI

BMI = 24.4

BMI of the client is normal as it falls in between the category of normal weight.

• Client’s BMR
BMR = 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) – 5 x age (years) + 5
BMR = 1700.25
The minimum number of calories needed by the client to keep his body functioning are 1700.25.

• Client’s target heart rate at 60% and 80% using the Karvonen formula

Minimum Training Heart Rate:
220 – 55 (Age) = 165
165 – 80 (Resting Heart Rate) = 85
85 x 0.60 (Minimum Intensity) + 80 (Resting Heart Rate) = 131 beats per minute

Maximum Training Heart Rate:

220 – 55 (Age) = 165
165 – 80 (Resting Heart Rate) = 85

Introduction

Modern day health care systems focus on offering holistic care that is patient-centric, safe, effective, efficient and timely.

Of this, a sound understanding of anatomy and physiology are critical in provision of care for long term care. Physiology is the study of function in living systems while anatomy is the study of structure in living things. These two disciplines have been central in the delivery of health services since Ancient Greece where philosophers such as Aristotle explained the ...
