Case Study #9 – Obesity and Eating Disorders
CC: “I hate being fat.” Client history: CC is a 43-year-old mother of three who has experienced gradual weight gain after the birth of each of her children. She is 5 ft 7 in tall, weighs 189 pounds, works full time, and does not engage in regular exercise. She is considered pre- diabetic and has prehypertension and appears eager to make lifestyle changes to improve her health and be a better nutritional role model for her children. She has successfully lost weight in the past through Weight Watchers but eventually got bored and regained all of the weight she lost. She does not want to count calories. She wants to know how many servings from each food group she should eat to lose weight and what the best foods from each group are. Her usual intake is as follows: no breakfast; snacks at a vending machine twice a day; fast food for lunch; and dinner with the family. Her dinner usually consists of about 6 oz of meat, potatoes, sometimes a vegetable, bread with butter, and dessert. CC admits to a weakness for “sweets.”
■ What is CC’s weight status based on her BMI?
■ What additional information about her eating behaviors would be helpful?
■ What MyPlate calorie level would you recommend for her?
■ What food groups does she need to consume more of? Less of? What would you tell her about the “best” foods from each group?
■ Create a nursing care plan complete with nursing diagnosis, client goal, interventions, and monitoring recommendations.
■ Devise a meal pattern with the calorie allowance you recommend; include three meals per day and two snacks. Prepare a sample menu.
■ What behavioral strategies would you recommend for her?
