Ella is an attorney who has worked in private practice for 25 years. She estimates she works 70 hours/week between the office and the courtroom. She has attributed her persistent fatigue to her schedule, poor diet (“I usually eat on the run, whatever is available”) and alcohol consumption (“I drink a bottle of wine a couple nights a week, and maybe more at the weekend especially if there are lots of dinners with clients”).

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
