Document Summary
Introduction to human nutrition bhs u105 case study fat soluble. Social history: mp is a very light 70 year old woman of japanese heritage. She is post- menopausal and never has been very active. She avoids being outdoors because she is afraid of cancer-related sunlight exposure. She was getting back to her car from the market and slipped and fell. They took her to the hospital and, although she had not fractured a bone, it was discovered that she had signiicant bone loss in her hips after doing a bone scan. Her physician prescribed tumstm and fosamaxtm to see whether these medications would prevent further bone loss and to perhaps prevent some of the calcium lost. Objective data: upon assessment, she stated not liking dairy products, particularly milk or cheese. However, she eats one or two 6 oz cup of yogurt twice a week most weeks. She was also found to have poor balance and a propensity to fall.
