Chapter 28, Problem 3CAQ
Summary Introduction

To determine:

You convince Ms. Cavallo to eat a balanced diet of three meals and two snacks high in protein. Describe the decision-making process you use to ensure that Ms. Cavallo continues to recognize the importance of a balanced diet. Include essential assessment data that you need to ensure that she continues to have an intake of proper foods.

Case summary:

Ms. Cavallo, 97 years of age, has been a resident at the rehabilitation unit for 6 weeks. She has been receiving rehabilitation therapy following the repair of her fractured left hip. The nursing assistive personnel (NAP) tells you that Ms. Cavallo has not been finishing her meals over the past 2 days because of poor appetite. As you enter her room with a food tray today, she stares, “Go away and take that tray of food with you. I’m tired of all of this, and I just want to stay in bed today.” You explore why she feels this way. You discover that she does not like the foods that are being prepared for her and she does not feel strong enough to get out of bed and use my walker.
