The family is willing to meet with you for 30 minutes four separate occasions to meet with you when they come to pick up their daughter who is overweight. The family is on a limited income and parents are both working two jobs to try to make enough to live. What would you do to support this family? 1 OUTLINE at least three additional details to the story to provide enough detail for me to understand your audience • My audience is a family who want to improve their nutritional habits. Maybe Maybe it confirms that the nutritional habits in their family have lots of problems, so my audience wants to change this situation. • This family 's income is limited, and their economic level also is not high. It also means that they do not hope to spend a lot of money on improving their nutritional habits. • The parents in this family are extremely busy, and each of them has two jobs two jobs to earn money. Perhaps the busy work brings them a lot of pressure, and lead to their irregular lifestyle. 2 IDENTIFY at least three primary issues • Psychological/ Emotional pressure: In fact, this family has limited income, and parents both need to work two jobs to support the family. It means that they certainly have a lot of mental pressure. And their emotional wellness is unhealthy. • Financial pressure: Each of the parents needs to work two jobs to live. It expresses that this family has a serious financial pressure. • Children obesity: The daughter in this family is overweight, so they have the issue of children obesity. 3 Write TWO Learning Outcomes- they must be written according to the criteria outlined • I hope that my audience will classify the unhealthy food, and reduce the unhealthy foods intake after the first two To address this issue, I will analyze their nutritional habits have which questions after I contrast the ideal nutritional habits. And then, I will tell them they need to correct which parts of habits through the conversation. 5 DESCRIBE an evaluation tool you could use to measure whether or not your Learning Outcomes are met I would use the dietary table as the evaluation tool. This table would records their daily diet and daily intake of nutrients, such as protein, calcium, and fiber. In this way, I can observe the food 's changes in the chart, and then learn about whether my audience 's eating habits have not changed, and whether their nutritional habits have raised. In general, it shows whether my audience still continues to eat unhealthy food after conversation. And I would administer this tool through read it and give my audience reflection every week. 6 IDENTIFY one way in which you believe these outcomes will impact the family If my audience has a good diet, they do not eat unhealthy food after conversation, and they also do not feel they have lots of pressure, then their lives will certainly be full of pleasant and relaxing.

Patricia Hyjer Dyk talks about poverty and how it complicates the family life. On the other hand, Stephanie Coontz focuses on how families have changed from the 20th century to the 21st century; focusing on the negative and positive aspects of both. Dyke doesn’t talk much about how the family system and the earning system has changed, while Coontz focuses on that; however, in both the authors’ articles, women and their role in the society are significantly covered. According to Dyk, the family life has become complicated because of a number of stressors. These stressors include the difficulties that people face on a daily basis, in the shape of physical, emotional and psychological needs.
While watching the documentary “Two American Families” there was three aspects I noticed within the two families. The first being how there was a shift in the social class of the families due to economic problems. The second being the role reversal of the male and the female. The third being the effect of the families’ financial instability on the children and their decisions into adulthood.

For instance, there have been several nutritional interventions implemented in health care facilities. Specifically, screening can be effective in health care facilities to aid in identifying poor nutrition among the elderly, which is often undetected. Additionally, screening tools has been used to establish appropriate nutritional meals. One study by researchers Babineau, Jolyne, Villalon, Laporte, Manon, & Payette (2008) showed that the introduction of screening in a general hospital raised awareness of nutrition-related care. In this intervention dietitians conducts a full nutritional assessment and implemented a nutritional care plan for patients aged 65 or older (Babineau et al., 2008). The nutrition care program included nutritional screening, timely intervention, and close dietitian

Proper nutrition is important in maintaining a long and healthy life. Most Americans are rushed due to their busy work schedules, and do not take the time to plan their diets properly. Like me, most Americans are unaware of the importance of eating a healthy diet and consume too many foods without the proper nutrients. Throughout my life I have been fortunate. I have not had any major health problems, and have been able to consume most foods without having to worry about gaining weight. These last two years, however, I started to gain weight and have become concerned with my diet. Changing my poor eating habits has been difficult for me, however, having this assignment has taught me that it is not as difficult as I previously imagined.
was well organized, efficient and effective. She was compliant with 83% of the new plan regimen by the end of the four weeks project. She was also in compliant of her weekly weight regimen and documentations throughout the course of the project. Even though C.M skipped imputing some caloric intake and meal times in her journal, at the end, she was able to achieve 90 % compliance of healthy eating through label reading food planning and the use of the national dietary guidelines. She was also able to reduce her intake of fast foods noted by a marked reduction in weight of 7 lbs. at the end of the third week. While C.M made a lot of progress in most of the itemized plan of care, she was non-compliant in the area of meeting with a nutritional counsellor. She attributed this to lack of time and financial

Take me for example, a college student and a mother of one. I find it hard to successfully attend college and keep a job at the same time. My family and myself, right now, are at the bottom of the barrel. When we moved back from Tennessee, we had to use all the money we had saved. After paying one month and a halt of rent, both phone bills, and the electricity bill, we had to turn around scrape for food and the following months rent, not including our other bills. At first it was too hard. We felt like ends were not meeting, so I had to find a job. So now the way it works at my house is we both split the bills. My fiancée has the really big bills like the rent and the insurance payment while I have the light bill, both phone bills, cable, and the internet bill. We both share the food bill, household items, and clothing. It is essential for me to work to help make ends meet. This is an example of one of the ways some households work. Even though I sometimes have a tough time with school I still manage to stay in school. This is one family that needs to have two incomes to make ends meet.
Nutrition assessments include clinical and dietary assessment, anthropometrics, as well as biochemical, laboratory immunologic and functional indices of nutritional status (Gibney, 2005). In epidemiological studies, different dietary investigation tools were designed to assess the nutritional status in individuals and populations, nutrition monitoring and surveillance and diet-disease research (Friedenreich, et al., 1992, Taren, 2002).
