Introduction: Hello my name is xxxxxxx xxxxxx and I am an Eating Disorder Counselor. Today I will be discussing the physiological reasons for eating or not eating and then I will open the floor for discussion.

The roles, activities, and regulations in which dietetics practitioners perform are established by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetic (AND) in the “Scope of Practice in Nutrition and Dietetics” article published in June, 2013. Broken down into three different sections; an overview of main role and function of a registered dietitian (RD), provide resources to RDs in decision making and enabling RDs to become leaders in providing nutrition services. The scope of practice in credentialed practitioners is established in the practice act, interpreted and regulated by the Academy or the board of that regulates the practice in their respective states. With today’s growing health care, the demand of nutrition services is branching out in new directions.

Nutrition assessment would be the first step with the patient. This evaluation will help me to know the current eating pattern: types and amounts of food typically eaten throughout the day, especially types and amounts of carbohydrates. Also know the medicines that the patient is taking to give to him education about food medication interaction. I would ask to him if is receiving nutritional program such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. During the nutrition counseling I would empowering him to self- manage diabetes and maintain good control of blood glucose. I would provide nutrition knowledge of healthy eating.

I firmly believe that through earning the registered dietitian credential, I have a chance to impact the health outcomes of my family, friends, neighbors, future patients, as well as future generations. I am confident that the Dietetic Internship and Masters of Public Health (DI/MPH) program at the University of Texas School of Public Health (UTSPH) is the ideal environment to prepare me in the pursuit of my primary long-term goal of developing a career as a research dietitian. In addition to the program’s alignment with my professional interests, I will bring grit, curiosity, maturity and academic excellence to the next cohort.

Your post is well articulated. I agree with you nutritional status assessments. In addition, to your assessments, Mr. J takes multiple daily medications such as; furosemide (Lasix), potassium chloride, and phenytoin (Dilantin). A person who takes multiple daily medications is at higher risk for nutritional alterations due to medication side effects, which may alter appetite. Furthermore, he is at a higher risk for altered nutrition due to his history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease which affects his appetite & also his admitting diagnosis; pneumonia (Sole, Klein, Moseley, 2013, p. 81). The patients’ nutritional status signify that they need intervention which requires the collaboration of the nurse, dietician, physician,

One of the sub-criterions that I found interesting is Health, Nutrition, and Safely Policies and Procedures. This sub-criterion addresses the procedures to promote health and wellness and children and adult’s safety. Two things that I believe would be easy are taking steps to reduce occupational hazard and arranging sleeping positions. These two would be easy because it does not take a lot of work to teach a child how to sleep the correct way and how to reduce occupational hazards. Two things that seem challenging to achieve are supervising children when teaching and managing plans. These two seem difficult because supervising a group of children take a lot of effort to make them listen and planning out the agenda for the day require a lot

Johnny Bowden explains that the American diet does not supply the essential vitamins and minerals necessary for good health (Bowden). Bowden is known to be an expert on weight loss and health. “Vitamin and minerals are essential to life, you can believe it or not, but your body will not function properly without them” (Bowden). If so, is it possible that a healthy diet and certain foods can fight diseases? Eating vitamins, minerals, and nutrition may help fight off certain diseases.

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for Mg in adults is 310–420 mg/d (410–420 mg/day and 310–320 mg/day for men and , respectively (64). However, Mg deficiency is commonly seen, worldwide.

Parenteral administration of the Mg supplement is contraindicated in patients with heart block or myocardial damage (66).

With obesity spreading across America like a wildfire, it’s only logical that I’ve tested to see if I will one day fall into this quickly growing demographic. Moreover, in attempts of measuring my overall health, I’ve taken data over 24 hours over a typical school day not only to look at the types and amounts of activity but also the types and amounts of food I eat.

The registered dietician at the WICC department provided lots of education for the clients that I observed. She provided proper nutrition education for their age recommendation based on the MyPlate and food pyramid. She spoke at length with each client about meeting requirements and ways to include certain foods in their diets. She educated the parents on proper weight/height guideline. She provided each parents or client with educational material regarding nutrition guidelines based on age. The pamphlets were based on age starting at 1 year and went through 5 years of age. She also educated the parents of infants on proper nutrition regarding bottle, sippy cup and pacifier use. The appointments were used to give vouchers for purchase
