This case study requires use of the American Dietetic Association’s Nutrition Care Process.
Mr. Trigger, a 29-year-old male, and his healthy 32-year-old wife have been unable to conceive after two years of unprotected intercourse. Results of medical tests led Mr. Trigger to be diagnosed with male-factor infertility due to low sperm production. No other health problems were identified. His weight was assessed to be 260 lbs (118 kg) and his height measured 5 ft 10 in. (1.78 m). Mr. Trigger was referred to a registered dietitian for nutritional assessment, diagnoses, intervention, and follow-up.
Results of the nutritional assessment revealed that Mr. Trigger was physically inactive and consumed an average of 145 calories more per day than recommended based on his weight, height, and physical activity level. Results of assessments of Mr. Trigger’s dietary and supplement intake; nutrition-focused physical findings; nutrition knowledge, behaviors, and beliefs; and food availability revealed no additional problem areas.
Name one potential nutrition intervention that addresses the nutrition diagnosis.
