Dietary plan

Your patient is a 20-year old female with NUG (Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis). Her normal activity level is at a
moderate rate. Her weight is 125 and she is 5’5. She is presently attending college and smokes about a ½ pack of cigarettes a day. She brushes at night when she remembers. An initial liquid diet has already been followed for 1
week and this client is ready to start a soft mechanical diet.

1. You need to develop a one day dietary plan for this patient and address oral hygiene considerations to help heal the tissues. (This is the dietary oral hygiene considerations not the home care considerations) You not only have to take into consideration her oral condition, but also what is needed on a daily basis for her nutritional needs.
Hint: use the websites http://www.choosemyplate.gov/or http://www.myfitnesspal.com to help you come up with a diet and then take into consideration her oral condition. When a person is recovering or healing they need an extra 300 calories per day. You should calculate her BEE and determine the amount of calories you would plan for her to consume on a daily basis during this recovery time.

Be sure to analyze the diet and print out the results. Include these report pages with your assignment: Nutrient Report, Meal Summary Report and Food Groups and Calories report.

2. In a type written paper (using 12 point font and double spacing) Describe the oral conditions you would expect
to find for this patient. Why did this happen to this patient – what were the possible systemic causes for this
problem?

3. How would you advise/educate her with her dental hygiene home care?
