Discussion Topic: Nutritional Side Effects of Cancer TreatmentsThe Assignment for Unit 6 involves an extremely ill personwho has been having very serious side effects ofadvanced stage HIV. He has suffered significant weightloss as result of gastrointestinal infections and intolerance.Let’s imagine that you are working at a hospice communityoutreach center as a clinical nutrition aide and thesupervising RD asks you to prepare a preliminary nutritionassessment on a stage 4 colon cancer patient. The patienthas experienced severe weight loss (more than 20%weight loss) and is suffering from N/V/D(nausea/vomiting/diarrhea) due to the extensivechemotherapy, radiation, and surgical resection of part ofhis colon. The nursing notes reveal that the patient isunable to tolerate his meals (bland/soft diet) and is havinga hard time even keeping clear liquids down when takinghis medication. Why does extensive chemotherapy,radiation and colon resection sometimes lead to suchserious negative nutritional outcomes?What nutrition therapy options are available to patientswith these types of nutrition complications? Which nutritiontherapy method would you suggest and why? Are thereother considerations that need to be made before makingthe nutrition therapy recommendation to the supervisingdietitian and Physician? (ethical, family wishes, prognosisetc.).
