Case study for Joan
Joan is a 70-year-old Caucasian woman who has recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis after a fall during which her hip broke. She is 64 inches tall and weighs 115 pounds. Lately she has been reporting muscle pain in her legs. She eats a limited diet owing to a chronic low appetite. A recent blood test shows that Joan’s serum vitamin D level is below normal. Her daily diet includes juice or fruit and toast with butter for breakfast, cottage cheese and fruit for lunch, and salad or a frozen vegetable with meat or poultry for dinner. She dislikes most fish, except canned tuna, and she often drinks a glass of fortified milk before going to bed at night. Although she lives in New Mexico, she spends most days indoors. Joan has been taking a blood-thinning medication since she was discharged from the hospital. She has been taking a daily multivitamin that contains 5000 IU of vitamin A and 400 IU of vitamin D for many years.
