1- A 50 yo individual of Asian ancestry presents a hip fracture. Your assessment of this individual indicates frailty, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and malnutrition. You recall that many observational studies indicate a significant association between undernutrition and clinical outcomes in patients with hip fracture, and that contemporary evidence suggests the effectiveness of nutritional therapy alone for hip fracture patients is unclear. Some nutrition intervention studies examining the effect of oral administration of protein, vitamin D, and calcium provide inconsistent outcomes. As a healthcare practitioner, briefly describe your plan for nutrition support for this individual, including approaches to monitor the individuals progress from your intervention. (A)
2- Briefly describe the metabolic and presentation similarities/differences of cachexia and sarcopenia. (A)
3- Describe the impact of dietary protein (quantity and quality) on reducing the risk of dynapenia and sarcopenia. (A)
