Susan is a very slight 60year old woman of Japanese heritage with
Down syndrome. She is post-menopausal and never has been very
active as she uses a power wheelchair because of her foot problems
which include bunions, uncut toe nails and uneven foot pads. She
does not enjoy eating and it is always a struggle to get her to eat.
Although she can feed herself, she will rarely finish a meal unless
encouraged. Her favorite position to eat is lying on her bed
watching television.
After several bone fractures that resulted when she was transferred
from a chair to bed, a bone-density test was done. It was
discovered that she had significant bone loss in her hips and was
given a diagnosis of osteoporosis. Her physician prescribed
Tums™ and Fosamax™ to see whether it will prevent further bone
loss and to perhaps rebuild some of the calcium lost. The oral

food is ingested and the individual must remain vertical until the

Kari is a relatively healthy 42-year-old female with well-managed diabetes. She reports occasional alcohol intake, smokes cigarettes only when drinking, and exercises 3-4 times a week. She has a history of mild myopia, which she has corrected with glasses and contacts since she was 14 years old. Kari has been having trouble seeing at night. It has been gradually getting worse and she was tripped on a rug and bumped into a few walls within the last week. She has also noticed that small text seems blurrier than usual. Kari always makes sure to schedule annual visits to her eye doctor. Luckily, it’s almost time for this year’s check-up because she thinks she might need a new prescription for her glasses and contacts.
Kari has two grandparents who had glaucoma in their lifetime. Do any of Kari’s symptoms support a diagnosis of glaucoma? If so, which one(s)?

She recently moved into the area with her mother and her three siblings. The family moved to be nearer to Yvonne s grandparents after the breakup of her parents relationship. Yvonne is tall for her age and is bothered by the looks and sexual comments about her breasts from boys in her school. She has made few friends at the new school, because she needs to spend most of her free time taking care of her younger siblings while her mother waits tables to support the family. Her eighth grade academic work is a little more advanced than what she is usedto. She is having a hard time keeping up, particularly in science, which is her first period course.

- Seth, a thirty-eight year-old white male of Scandinavian descent, has lived his entire life in Southern Florida. He is very concerned with maintaining a "healthy" appearance. Seth is very athletic and especially enjoys surfing. He has been surfing since the age of twelve and he started making surfboards while he was in high school. After obtaining a college degree in marketing Seth decided to start his own business making surfboards and giving surfing lessons for a local resort near his home. During a routine physical examination the physician assistant that Seth sees commented on the presence and appearance of a small growth (approximately 2-cm in diameter) above Seth’s right eyebrow. This growth was shiny with a pearly border, a central ulcer and engorged surface blood vessels.

His treatment includes medical nutrition therapy,speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, and physical ther-apy. Marcus does not eat a well-balanced eating pattern for several reasons: a feature of his compulsive behavior is that he only accepts a limited variety of foods, he is unable to eat when overstimulated at mealtime, and he has poor fine motor coordination that impairs his ability to feed himself. He is on a gluten- free/casein-free diet because these peptides are believed to cause a variety of effects in the neurotransmitter systems of the brain. Eliminating all foods containing gluten (foods containing wheat, barley, and rye) and casein (the major protein in milk and other dairy products and used as an additive in other foods such as soy products) may improve behaviors in some children with autism, although…arrow_forward
