1. Using the ABCDs of nutritional assessment, write a brief nutritional assessment that includes:

a. An analysis of Sally’s anthropometrics. Include % desirable body weight, % weight change, and BMI.

b. Describe the significance of her biochemical data. Are her lab values within normal limits? Do they indicate optimal blood sugar control?

c. Using the exchange lists for meal planning (text, appendix B), estimate Sally’s total caloric intake over the 24-hour period described above. Did she meat her estimated caloric needs on this day?

2. Now that you have analyzed Sally’s objective data, list indicators of potential nutritional problems (nutritional risks). For each nutritional problem, list one intervention that could be tried.

3. Using the exchange lists for meal planning or food labels, estimate the number of grams of total carbohydrates in each of Sally’s meals.

4. Explain to Sally how she can count the total carbohydrates for herself. Be specific: will she need measuring cups, etc? How can she use the exchange lists? How should she read a food label to get grams of carbohydrates?
