Worksheet 18-1: Case Study—Assessment of the Nutritional
Status of the Elderly
John, 78 years old, is a sometimes homeless veteran. He is missing many teeth from
years of no dental care. John receives a monthly retirement check but he has great
difficulty meeting his monthly bills, let alone buying enough food, and this has caused
many evictions. When he can afford them, John has his prescriptions filled for a
diuretic (for high blood pressure) and a statin (for high cholesterol). John isn’t sure
what his current weight is, but he has had to tighten his belt to the last notch over the
past eight months. He has no family with whom he is still in contact, and he eats all of
his meals alone. At a neighbor’s insistence, John is visiting the local senior center to
eat lunch for the first time. The day he visits, each person is having a free nutrition
screen completed by a program staff member.
Questions:
1. Using the “Determine Your Nutritional Health” checklist (p. 459), assess John’s
nutritional status. What is his score?
2. Review the “DETERMINE: Warning signs of poor nutritional health” checklist
shown in Table 18.5 (p. 458). Prioritize John’s nutrition problems based on this
screening tool.
3. What parts of the nutrition education handout created by the University of Florida
IFAS Extension (access at http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/he944) should be used to
provide nutrition education to John?
4. What should the local senior center registered dietitian do for John to help address
the nutrition problems you identified in #2?Worksheet 18-2: Estimate the Nutritional Requirements
for the Elderly
Directions: Use the information from Chapter 18 (Nutrient Recommendations, p. 464)
to complete this worksheet.
1. Determine the estimated calorie requirements (for weight maintenance) for John, a
78-year-old male, who weighs 146#, is 5’11”, and is considered sedentary.
2. Does John need to gain or lose weight? How might this change his estimated
calorie requirements?
3. Determine John’s estimated protein requirements. Also, John has difficulty
chewing due to missing many teeth, so he avoids eating many types of meats. What
suggestions do you have to help him consume an adequate amount of protein?
4. Determine John’s estimated fluid requirements.
5. John’s usual food intake is as follows: coffee, pastry, tuna salad on white bread, cola, potato chips,
canned beans, hot dogs, coffee, and pie.
What suggestions do you have to help him reduce his risk for chronic disease using dietary
modifications?Instructor’s Manual1 for Chapter 19 – Nutrition and Older
