Select two nutrition problems and complete PES statements for each

What will be an ideal response?


Following are possible PES statements. It may be helpful for students to initially write more than two nutrition diagnoses and then prioritize as to the ones most likely to have immediate nutrition interventions.
Clinical:
• Overweight related to physical inactivity and excessive energy intake as evidenced by BMI of 24.9 (>95%)
Intake:
• Excessive energy intake related to snacks and meals consisting of calorically dense foods and beverages such as whole milk, regular sweetened sodas, and fried foods as evidenced by typical daily caloric intake of approximately 4400 kcal compared to recommended daily intake of 1800-2000 kcal
(Students could also write a similar PES using "Excessive oral food/beverage intake" as the problem.)
Behavioral/Environmental:
• Physical inactivity related to overweight, fatigue, and limited PA at school as evidenced by usual activities limited to playing video games and reading
• Undesirable food choices related to knowledge deficit and low intake of fruits and vegetables as evidenced by frequent intake of juices, whole milk, sweetened beverages, refined carbohydrates, fried foods, and high-fat meals
• Food- and nutrition-related knowledge deficit as evidenced by Jamey's mother inquiring about the use of food rewards to motivate an increase in physical activity and exercise (in this case an etiology may not be necessary)
