Tutorial
Hannah, a 1-year-old girl, is brought to the clinic for a routine immunization by her mother.
Mr. and Mrs. Rosen have a healthy 5-year-old boy at home. The pregnancy with Hannah was uneventful and a fetal ultrasound done at 16 weeks gestation was normal. The baby was born by spontaneous vaginal delivery, breathed immediately, and was placed on the breast for mom to nurse. Hannah's birth weight was 3.4 Kg.
After seeming to feed normally for 24 hours, Hannah vomited bile and the abdomen was noted to be distended. An x-ray was interpreted as showing a distal small bowel obstruction. Further contrast x-rays of the colon showed a microcolon and inspissated meconium in the proximal colon, making a diagnosis of meconium ileus. Genetic testing confirmed cystic fibrosis.
After a lengthy hospitalization to correct the bowel obstruction, Hannah was discharged home receiving exclusive breast milk. At 4 months of age, Hannah was switched to a cow's milk formula. Her mother noticed that she cried a lot. Hannah's mom attributed the symptoms to a milk allergy and progressed through a variety of cow's milk and soy formulae. At present Hannah is taking 1 litre of Rice milk and a small variety of foods daily. She has one small formed stool per day. She weighs 8.5 kg and is 74 cm tall.

- Indicates most relevant
Objectives
General Objectives
- Describe the enteral digestion, absorption and metabolism of macronutrients and micronutrients.
- Explain the application of the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) in clinical practice, become aware of age-specific nutrient recommendations including the tolerable upper limit (TUL), acceptable macronutrient distribution range (AMDR), and understand where these may be modified during growth, and special physiological states such as infancy, adolescence and high intensity exercise.
- Describe an approach to determining nutritional status. This should include assessment of growth, body composition and biochemical measures of nutritional adequacy.
- Use reference standards for growth to assess over and under nutrition based on percentile for weight, height and body mass index (BMI).

McMaster Program Competencies
1.1 Gather essential and accurate information about patients and their health through history-taking, physical examination, and the use of laboratory data, imaging, and other tests.
1.3 Interpret laboratory data, imaging studies, and other tests required for the area of practice
1.4 Make informed decision about diagnostic and therapeutic interventions based on patient information and preferences, up-to-date scientific evidence, and clinical judgment
1.5 Develop and carry out patient management plans
1.7 Counsel and educate patients and their families to empower them to participate in their care and enable shared decision-making
1.9 Provide health care services to patients, families, and communities aimed at preventing health problems or maintaining health
2.2 Apply biomedical scientific principles fundamental to health care for patients and populations.
2.4 Apply principles of epidemiological sciences to the identification of health problems, risk factors, treatment strategies, resource allocation, and disease prevention/health promotion efforts for patients and populations
2.5 Apply principles of socio-behavioural sciences to the provision of patient care, including assessment of the impact of psychosocial and cultural influences on health, disease, care-seeking, care concordance, care adherence and barriers to and attitudes toward care.
