SCI115, Dietary, Needs, Patients, Cardiovascular, Disease
Assignment Overview
For this assignment, you will answer questions about a client named Mr. Smith. You will
analyze the dietary needs and risks for patients who are at risk for heart disease. Using
your textbook and the internet you will identify the best recommendations, risks, and
needs of a patient in Mr. Smith’s condition, based on the questions asked. You are
required to include citations of your references.
This assignment is intended to explore differences between macronutrient and
micronutrient concepts and describe their physiological functioning. Additionally, you will
apply human nutritional theories and relevant research to formulate nutritional
assessments and describe nutritional requirements corresponding to stages in the life
span.
You will also examine how effective nutritional counseling is contingent upon
collaboration, organization, and concurrence among the members of the health care
team.

Mr. Smith eats a diet that is high in saturated and trans fats. He also complains of
