Remember your exact advice with organic chemistry. I've known the brightest of people tell horror stories about how much studying this one class takes.
Do you have a video about your schooling to become a RD? I am interested in knowing how easy or difficult school was. What was your favorite part about your courses and how did you decided this was the right career for you? Also what made you choose to go into the clinical side of the ever so large and expanding nutrition field?
Hello Can you please tell more about the physical assessment of malnutrition or muscle loss. I'm a dietitics graduate and have not much knowledge about it.
A few months ago, my dad hit his head and had brain damage. He was very weak, couldn’t speak and wasn’t able to swallow as well. So they gave him a soft foods diet and when I went in to check on him. He looked super skinny and they said we wasn’t really eating but when I went in there he wasn’t even able to grab him plate because his bed sides were up. This got me really upset because he wasn’t eating because he was too weak to grab his plate and his nurse didn’t notice.
Interesting insight :) I'm going to school for my RDN now. After losing my father to cancer I became obsessed with the nutrigenomics of diet and nutrition as well as epigenetics. Though I believe more in a LCHF/LCKD style, loving your info so thanks!
We just covered dysphagia in my medical nutrition therapy class and I feel so well educated :,) But honestly these are so helpful because I get anxiety about the clinical portion of dietetics and it's nice to run through these and know that I'd actually be able to handle the situation
Girl, i have been there with organic and physics in the same semester (and then organic and physics 2 😫)! Just push through it and remember that you will never have to go through that nightmare again once it's done!
Wow, it’s amazing to learn about case studies involving interesting conditions of people so you can improve your applications in dietetics! And please remember that your inner demons are NOT you. Glad that CBD helps you 🥰💞
To touch on the case study from a nurses perspective: uti = antibiotics to eliminate the infection as the last thing you want is for the patient to get urosepsis. If suspected cva = ct to the head. Wounds = wound care consult with increased nutrition including increased protein. Nurses need to turn patient and place patient on a special mattress. Feeding the patient if not responding you have options of the nurse temporarily placing an NGT to do a gravity feed before placing a peg tube for pump feeds. TPN can also be temporary but not long term. Depending on the dietitian and doctor.
ah omg I'm currently a dietetic intern rn and I had a similar patient this week that was presenting with dysphagia! cool to see the similarities and hear your perspective on it :)
I have just started working as an RD! Out of curiosity, how many patients do you see in a day? I'm finding that I'm struggling to get through patients quickly (i.e. information gathering from medical notes and patient, assessment of patient, and writing up notes!)
I’m doing my clinical rotation in a long term care facility in the US. Entry level dietitians are expected to do 9-10 assessments per day. But I heard other dietitians may do 15-20 a day! I also been struggling to do that many a day but I’m in my 7th week so hopefully by the end I can reach that goal.
@@avolovo thanks Karen for your reply. Wow that seems like a lot! I struggle to do 7 sometimes 😂 I would love to know how they manage to do so many! How's your clinical rotation going? X
Frankly, I kinda didn't like it when you were smiling saying the word stroke and explaining brain damage...The rest of this is immensely helpful for me as a student though. Thank you a lot for these case studies, they're valuable.
@@lizzieturbett7444 I know you are right...Just felt a little bit weird at that moment while I was watching. Didn't mean to blame her or anything, just to offer my opinion.
stress less, love more. you can choose to stress less. make that room for love and breath ❤️

No way, I have a similar case like this that's due tomorrow. Amanda, your timing couldn't be more perfect!!
I appreciate you💚🙏🏽🥰
I need more content like this !! I learn so much. Thank you for sharing Amanda!
The case study is so interesting. You're doing amazing work. Blessings to you.
Are you planning on working during medical school? If so, how are you balancing that?
Loveee your case studies!! Helps put my MNT classes into context!!!

I love your videos so much, so interesting the case study!!!!!
I love your Channel so Much , I’m an intern Dietetic and that case study is so helpful
This is really informative. Please do more of such case related videos
Love these blogs !!!! You just keep me interested in Dietetics. I am currently in the Dietetics track
Can you please put case studies with tube feeding? Thanks

hi amanda!
hey girl haaaayyy
I’m in grad school for speech pathology and want to specialize in swallowing disorders! :)
ooooo girl i love the new intro to this video! been a long-time viewer since boston days! love your channel!

Great video Amanda! My Father is going through a lot of this.... ugh

@Savanna Phares Thank you! I'll try and find it x

Do you cover any of the icu?? Or are you covering only floor tube feeders? Just curious!
ICU also :) I don't specialize, but we all rotate as we're assigned different floors
You really aren't alone! I'm taking organic chemistry this semester too 😭
Love love love these videos💞 I’m in chem and physics now so I’m struggling with you lol
Do you work in in-patient then?
Yep!
From which college /universities u completed ur study?
I find these videos interesting! Thanks for making them! Do you change the patient’s names when talking about the cases?
Of course!

Jason D is she supposed to start crying when she talks about it? as a clinician you kind of have to distance yourself from stuff like that.
