Assess Mrs. McCormick's diet prior to having difficulty swallowing. Compare her energy and protein intakes to her estimated nutrient needs
What will be an ideal response?
• Energy Intake: 877 kcal
• Protein Intake: 35 grams
• EER: 1400-1700 kcal
• EPR: 40-50 grams
Based on these estimations, it appears that Mrs. McCormick was not meeting her calorie (63%) and protein (88%) needs on a daily basis before she developed problems swallowing. It is reasonable to state that with her underlying disease, she was most likely not consuming all of the food items listed on a daily basis, and consuming enough on a daily basis is a big struggle for her.
