Nutrition Screening
Select three older adults to interview. Good choices would be family members, church members, and friends that are 60+ years old. Complete two MNA screenings and one Determine screening form. (Note: Due to HIPPA Laws and Regulations do not use the individual's names. They should be referred to as a number or some other form of identification.) Report your findings (total score). Which one of the screening forms did you prefer? Define what areas may need to be addressed by a Health Care Provider. Is a Dietitian needed to address any nutritional risk concerns? If possible, calculate their BMI and Nutritional Needs. Use a different formula such as the Mifflin St. Jeor formula to estimated their kilocalories. How does this formula results compare to the BMI estimates? Summarize your findings.
