NFSC 471: Medical Nutrition Therapy II

Assignment title: Case Study Presentation: Cystic Fibrosis

 What I learned: I learned the details of the disease Cystic Fibrosis. I also learned about completing a case study, creating a presentation of that case, and presenting the case to my peers in an understandable and educational manner.

Reflection to the assignment: This is the first major assignment that I really enjoyed. It was an enormous amount of work, but I appreciated the assignment. I enjoyed learning, in depth, about a disease that I didn't really understand before. I enjoyed the experience of completing an entire case study by myself, and creating a power point presentation of all the material. I was also given the opportunity to demonstrate professionalism and understanding of the material when I presented the case to my class.

Relevance to the profession: As stated with the previous case study, it is important to be able to understand client cases and be able to assess each client for their nutritional status. It is also important in this profession to be able to present case studies, such as this to members of the patient care team, such as doctors, nurses, and other nutritional staff members.
