To evaluate, compare, and analyze menus from different agencies and suggest revisions for healthier food choices based on the cultural and age group. Students in a cultural concentration will use that specific cultural focus to complete this assignment. Those students in a cultural concentration (such as the Hispanic concentration) should be grouped together for this assignment. However, should the groups be mixed (with students in the cultural concentration and students not in the cultural concentration), the RUA must explore the cultural concentration (e.g., Hispanic).
Course outcomes: This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
CO1. Assess whether nutritional intake provides basic nutrients for optimal health and wellness. (POs 1 & 2) CO2. Describe nutritional needs for optimal health and wellness throughout the lifespan. (POs 1 & 2)
CO3. Discuss the psychological, sociological, economical, and cultural implications of food on nutritional status. (POs 1 & 2)
CO4. Describe evidence-based practice interventions and modifications in nutrition therapy that can positively influence the outcome of disease and illness. (POs 1 & 8)
Due date: Your faculty member will inform you when this assignment is due. The Late Assignment Policy applies to this assignment.
Preparing the assignment
Follow these guidelines when completing this assignment. Speak with your faculty member if you have questions.
1. Identify target groups- your team will be assigned the specific type of facility menus to research. As a team, you will select two facilities which care for your population’s demographic (age, culture). For teams with one or more members enrolled in a cultural concentration option, the entire team should select facilities which care for that population’s demographic. The instructor may provide the team’s assigned age group and the type of facility in which the clients receive care. Team size may vary, depending on class size. Three to five students per team is ideal.
2. Search for some differences between the facilities, such as urban versus rural, small versus large, or teaching versus non-teaching organizations.
3. Facilities and populations may include
a. High schools
b. Community Center
c. Meals on wheels
d. Daycare center: Geriatric adult
e. Senior center
f. Assisted living
g. Nursing home
4. All team members must complete and sign the Team Charter Form. A copy of the form is then submitted by each
student to their individual drobox, in addition to the copy submitted by the Team Leader in the next step.
a. The team charter is in the Week 1 Explore section. A drobox for submission is in the Week 2 Explore Section.
b. Select one student to be Team Leader. This individual is response for submitting the presentation and accompanying outline of the speaker’s notes to the designated Team Discuss Thread first so that both documents can be checked for originality of content.
i. The team leader will inform team members of the originality index once received.
ii. If the match is high, the team leader will coordinate revisions with team members, resubmit the revised documents, and inform team members of the new originality index.
c. Remaining team members will submit the presentation and speaker’s notes to the assignment dropbox after receiving the final originality index.
i. This delay in submission by team members assures that the submission of multiple copies of the
ii. team documents will not adversely impact the originality index.
5. All team members will receive the same grade for each deliverable unless it is determined that a team member did not participate in the planning and completion of the assigned portions of the project.
