Problem:Illness & Nutrition Care
This imaginary patient has been undergoing chemotherapy treatments for lung cancer. They have been hospitalized with failure to thrive (they have not been eating or drinking much, along with vomiting frequently). The vomiting has stopped, but they state that they just don't have an appetite. Their illness has contributed to their weight loss over the past week.
Formulate a plan for how you could improve their nutrient intake. This should be an independent nursing measure (not one that requires a doctor's order like starting tube feedings). It can be something simple, but realistic.
