To know about nutritional risk factors

Reference no: EM13197291

Jonathan, a two-and-a-half-year-old, lives with his mother and brothers at his grandmother's house in Chicago. His mother, Anita, works at a pharmacy to support the family. Jonathan spends his days at home with his grandmother. While Anita works, his grandmother brings the boys to a nearby congregate W.I.C (Women, Infants, and Children Program) site for a hot meal. Jonathan's favorite foods are french fries and strawberry milkshake. He drinks about four glasses (32 ozs.) of whole milk per day. He also loves grilled cheese sandwiches.

At his W.I.C appointment, the nutritionist asks Anita about Jonathan's food intake and plots his weight and height on growth charts for her to see. She works with Anita on goals for improving Jonathan's nutritional status. The statistics are as follows:
