Case Study #1: Case 7 GERD
See the general instructions for all case studies posted to Canvas. Remember to cite your sources for all information and include all the group members' names. Read the case history (pp 75-81 in the Nelms book) and answer the following questions:
Disease and Pathophysiology
- Describe the anatomic structures and normal physiology that are responsible for preventing acid reflux. (3 points)
- List the common causes of GERD.
- List 3 medications commonly prescribed to manage GERD. For each, list any significant nutritional implications these medications may have.
- List the most common complications of GERD?
Nutrition Assessment
- What risk factors does Mr. Gupta present with that might contribute to his diagnosis? Be sure to consider lifestyle, medical, and nutritional factors.
**Be sure to differentiate between risk factors that cause or have an association with GERD vs the actual symptoms of GERD. Symptoms are not risk factors.
- Identify Mr. Gupta's symptoms that support a diagnosis of GERD.
- Calculate calorie and protein requirements for Mr. Gupta. Briefly (1-2 sentences) explain why you chose those calculation methods/comparative standards. This must include a citation (you did not invent these calculation methods) and your rationale for why you chose it. Use Mr. Gupta's current weight.
- Using Mr. Gupta's 24-hour recall and the table on the next page, estimate his caloric intake on this day.
- How does this compare to the kcal needs you estimated in question 7?
- What daily calorie intake goal would you recommend to address the nutrition problems you identified? Include an explanation of why you chose this daily calorie goal.
Nutrition Diagnosis
- Think about the most pertinent nutrition problems. Using the standardized diagnostic terminology from the eNCPT, write two PES statements based on the problems you identified. (8 points - 1 point for using standard terms/format, 1 point for each part of the P/E/S).
Nutrition Intervention
- Summarize the lifestyle interventions for GERD.
- Summarize the nutritioninterventions for GERD.
- Identify which of the interventions (from your answer to #10 and 11) you would recommend to Mr. Gupta. Be sure to consider his case history and current lifestyle. You should have at least one that is related to the etiology for each of your PES. Briefly describe how you would implement them. If education, what materials would you use? If counseling, what models or theories would you use?
- Using Mr. Gupta's 24-hour recall, suggest five dietary modifications to help manage the symptoms of GERD. You should also consider Mr. Gupta's past medical history and cultural/personal preferences.
- Use the table on the next page and fill-in at least five specific food items or meal ideas. Include the rationale for these modifications - how will this improve his symptoms and help him meet his goals?
- Tips: Focus on changes that are realistic - that will fit in with his lifestyle and easy to do. You do not need to change ALL his foods (this would not be very realistic) so consider which diet changes will have the biggest effect. Remember to focus on GERD first as this is the case study topic and his primary concern.
Nutrition Monitoring & Evaluation
- For each PES statement, establish a goal to evaluate on follow up.Make sure that your goal is a measurable outcome that is specific and relevant to your problem, and that it includes a timeframe. (8 points)

NUTRITION: History: Patient relates he has gained almost 30 lbs since his knee surgery. He attributes this to a decrease in his ability to run, and he has not found a consistent replacement for this form of exercise. He plays with his children on weekends, but that is the extent of his physical activity. He states he probably has been eating and drinking more over the last year, which he attributes to stress with his busy lifestyle and long work hours. He is worried about his family history of heart disease, which is why he takes an aspirin each day. He has not really followed any diet restrictions for health concerns. He eats a combination of traditional Indiarf foods along with more American-style food choices. He has lived in the United States since his high school years so he does not follow any strict dietary practices related to his religious background of Hinduism.
