Exploring Therapeutic Diets: Creating a Diet Tray
On board in class:
You are working and still in orientation at a local LTC facility. You and your mentor are admitting a new resident. While covering the nutrition portion of the orientation your mentor asks you to observe how dietary processes patient data and preferences to create meals for the residents. You and the dietary employee you are working with are tasked with creating a "food tray" for the resident that follows the USDA Myplate recommendations and the resident’s specific diet needs. Use whatever craft supplies you wish to use. ***Make sure you choose the correct diet before creating the tray!***
Reflection:
Create and submit a google document that contains that following:
Your patients name and therapeutic diet
A clear picture of your diet tray with written description of food/liquids included.
Explanation of how your diet tray also meets nutritional needs of the elderly and myPlate guidelines
Explanation of why your patient needs the therapeutic diet plus other potential reasons a patient may benefit from this diet
A list of foods YOU would choose to put on YOUR diet tray if you had to follow this diet. Predict why you were asked to do this.
EXTENSION: While monitoring the resident, the CNA notices he/she coughs and gags when drinking water, suggesting dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Considering this new observation, how might the diet order need to be modified? What specific diet would now be safer?
