Discuss the differences between the nutritionist’s advice and the advice that is being given by you and the Registered Dietitian (worth 25 percent of your papers grade).

/in /by

You are working at a local health and fitness center when you meet Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith is a 27 year old man who is approximately 40 pounds overweight. As you are taking his background information, he denies any past medical history of heart, kidney or lung disease, but does admit to being a smoker (almost 1 pack per day). Mr. Smith indicates that his fitness goals include weight loss.
After being assessed by both you and the Registered Dietitian, a plan is devised to help Mr. Smith lose approximately 2 pounds per week. This will be accomplished through a sensible calorie restricted diet and exercise program. When the plan is presented to Mr. Smith, he is not satisfied with your plan and wants to lose weight much faster. He tells you about a “nutritionist” who his friend went to see a few months back. The nutritionist helped his friend lose over 30 pounds in the first month. He reported that the nutritionist recommended a low carbohydrate, high protein/high fat diet, and is now asking that you do the same for him.
In a two to three page paper, address the following areas:
– Discuss the differences between the nutritionist’s advice and the advice that is being given by you and the Registered Dietitian (worth 25 percent of your papers grade).
-Explain the role of each of the macronutrients and their functions to Mr. Smith (worth 25 percent of your papers grade).
-Explore the “pros” and “cons” of the diet Mr. Smith is asking you to recommend (worth 25 percent of your papers grade).
-Consider some of the health risks and side effects that a low carbohydrate, high fat/high protein diet can have on body systems (worth 25 percent of your papers grade).
——————————————————————————————–
Case Assignment Expectations:

Baby Boomers in Older Adulthood

The largest segment of the U.S. population, the “baby boomers,” are moving into older adulthood.  The advertising and marketing industries study this age cohort, and it has been increasing in visibility in primetime television, print ads, and in digital advertising, pop-ups, and internet solicitation.

Find at least 4 images or video clips of advertising or other popular media that illustrate this point. Use a caption for each piece of media to explain the advertisements mirror the specific physical and cognitive changes in development referred to in our readings and resources this week. Your captions should combine for a total of no fewer than 500 words.

Use at least 2 resources (other than the images or clips) to support the claims you are making. Cite these using APA formatting. Your references need to relate to concepts learned about middle adulthood and must be scholarly/academic in nature. Use of .com websites is not appropriate. Please use references other than those included in our Lessons to extend your research and knowledge.

Task Rationale

 

Writing an Annotated Bibliography will help you to find, summarise and organise the relevant research literature to support you in providing evidence based clinical practice. Compiling an annotated bibliography will help you think about the relevance and quality of the research on a topic. Does the research meet the requirements of the case study? Is the information from a reliable and academically respected source?

You will be asked to do similar research to this in the workplace when preparing to conduct new research projects or when developing practice guidelines, procedures and protocols.

Task Description

 

 

For this task you need to write a 1500 word essay. In your essay you must summarise, evaluate and critique three (3) sources relevant to the case study.

 

There are three (3) parts to this essay:

Part 2: Justification for your choice of sources (700 words)

Part 3: Recommendations for clinical practice (200 words)

 

 

 

Task Instructions

  1. Read the case study which is in attached with
  2. Now read the sources in the Reference List and select three (3) sources that you will use for the annotated bibliography section of your essay. Select the sources that you think relate the most to the clinical condition presented in the case study.
  3. (Part 1) Write an annotation for each of the 3 sources (200 words each annotation).  There is a document called ‘Examples of Annotations’ attached to this
  1. Structure your annotated bibliography like this:
  • alphabetical order according to the author’s name
  • each annotation is a separate paragraph
  • each annotation must begin with the formal citation (APA 6)
  • population,
  • methodology,
  • findings
  • conclusions
  • limitations
  1. (Part 2) Next you need to justify your choice of references based on their:
  • strengths, in relation to the associated case study,
  • quality of the research, and
  • what they add to clinical practice to manage the condition(s) presented in the case study (700 words). Use current literature to support your discussion.
  1. (Part 3) Finally, based on the evidence, you need to make recommendations for clinical practice (200 words). You will refer to the literature for this.

[1] Everyday language is predominantly subjective. It is mainly used to express opinions based on personal preference or belief rather than evidence. Written academic English is formal. It avoids colloquialisms and slang, which may be subject to local and social variations. Formal language is more precise and stable, and therefore more suitable for the expression of complex ideas and the development of reasoned argumentation.
