If you chose “Child and Preadolescent” as a population you want to focus on, you’d go to Chapter
13 where there’s a whole list of potential issues within this specific life cycle (like cystic fibrosis or attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder). You’d then do some basic research online and in the book/slides to give you an
idea of what vitamins, minerals, foods/calories, etc. you might need to know if you were a dietitian who had to
meet/counsel a patient within this group. Since this only has to be about 2 pages, keep it simple. Include
resources, organizations, places, etc. that might specialize in a particular disease/condition at this age of life
and where you would need to go to learn more about working with this patient.
A good essay paper contains the following:
1.It is arguable; it is your opinion that someone can agree or disagree with.
2.It provides the answer to a specific question or the solution to a specific problem.
3.It addresses the topic of the essay without straying from the central idea.
Your essay should be at least 700 words in length (about 5-6 full paragraphs or equal to a 2-page paper). It
must be uploaded to the assignment tab in Word or PDF format. Be sure to include appropriate headers and
footers (name, course, page numbers) and in-text citations references to support your essay.
