NR 228 Unit 1 Discussion 2: Personal Food Diary

Personal Food Diary (graded, 25 points)

In Units 1, 3, 5, and 7, you will be posting a 24-hour food and activity diary in preparation for the RUA due in Unit 7—Personal Food Diary. Each unit’s discussion will have questions on specific nutritional concepts. In addition to your initial post of the food and activity diary, you will examine one other student’s diary from a nursing perspective and offer feedback on ways to promote healthy living.

Although this discussion has points assigned within the unit, the information contained within the discussions will be applied in the final RUA, which will be a concept map giving a comprehensive view of your individual nutrition and wellness.

Using MyPlate.gov, you will be able to observe a snapshot of your personal nutritional habits. After going to MyPlate.gov, you will calculate your BMI; determine your personal Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) to manage your weight. (Sharing of BMI in the discussion is optional, not required.)

Unit 1 will focus on the overall caloric intake during a 24-hour period versus your activities during the same time frame. Using the NR228 24-Hour Personal Food and Activity Diary, fill in your food intake and activity for 24 hours. You will attach this to the discussion, along with your information from MyPlate.gov related to your total intake during this period.

Unit 2 Discussion Latest

Carbs, Culture, and Diabetes (graded, 25 points)

In this discussion, you will consider the following information prior to responding with your post.

In order to fully understand Hannah’s situation, please answer the following first: When are carbohydrates good for us? What are “good” versus “bad” carbohydrates? When are they not good for us or our bodies? What chemistry is involved in their breakdown, usage, and storage? Once you have discussed this, then consider Hannah and Rose’s situation, and think like a nurse!

Hannah is a 12-year-old who has had Type I diabetes for a few years. Her mother, Rose, is a strict vegetarian and believes this is also the best diet plan for her daughter. Hannah says, “I just want to eat like all my friends do!” As a result, she often cheats, and lately, there has been a steady increase in Hannah’s blood sugars. What are the first steps you would take, as Hannah’s nurse, to assess her eating habits and understanding of diabetes mellitus? What did Hannah and Rose tell you (subjective) and what did you see (objective)?
