Nutrition - Part 2

A deeper understanding of the nutritional requirements of older adults helps  to inform the approaches to meeting their needs. Students examine the dietary  interventions needed to meet the variety of nutritional needs of the frail  elderly. Students consider the entire requirements of a resident, including  nutrition, diet, texture, and nutrition supplementation for meals and  nourishments as well as dining atmosphere. Students identify appropriate diet  modifications required for various conditions and changes in  physiology. Learning activities include individual and group research  projects, group discussions, and presentations.
