Mini Case Study

Claire Pomorski, a 72-year-old female with multiple chronic conditions including end stage renal disease, diabetes, and multiple myeloma, was admitted for unexplained syncopal episodes. Labs showed abnormalities including low potassium, chloride, hemoglobin, and hematocrit. The patient has a history of weight loss and difficulty eating. The registered dietitian diagnosed the patient with severe malnutrition and increased nutrient needs related to her conditions. The nutrition care plan includes liberalizing her diet to regular textures, adding oral nutrition supplements twice daily and pudding three times daily, recommending a renal multivitamin, assisting with feeding, and coordinating a speech therapy evaluation for chewing and swallowing difficulties. Monitoring will include weekly weight,
