Nutrition Label Research Exercise
Due: Class #8 [Tuesday, November 25 , 2022].
Assignment
You are a community health nurse assigned to a patient who has a significant other who usually shops for them but is currently unable to do so. They are on a therapeutic diet related to their disease process. Your assignment is to find five “good choice” items for their pantry and identify five “bad choice” items. Your current group project diet WILL be the therapeutic diet you will research to find the most common restrictions usually placed on these individuals, so that you can make good choices and identify bad choices for their dietary intake.
STEP ONE:
25 POINTS
Research your assigned therapeutic diet for restrictions and allowances and describe them in a brief paragraph.
My Therapeutic diet is Low Fat/ Cholesterol Diet
STEP TWO:
25 POINTS
Go shopping. This can be done from your own home with foods you have on hand and/or at the grocery store. You must have a total of ten items, five that are good choices and five poor choice items. These items should not be anything specially marketed for that disease group. Make a list of specific food items, along with brand names, if applicable.
For example: Green giant chicken stir fry (good or bad choice).
STEP THREE:
50 POINTS
None of these items have to be purchased, the information from the
Nutrition label is all that is needed. You then need to explain,
in paragraph form, why each item is either a good or bad choice for your patient based on the label information. If some of the items you choose do not come with a nutrition label use the reference index. You must research the nutritional information for that product and be sure to reference your research outcome.
FYI: Please be sure to follow APA format when completing this assignment.
