 Step 1: Using the following Case Study, create a meal plan.

Jackie is a healthy women.  She is 45 years old and 5’7″ tall.  Jackie’s current weight is 160 lbs.  She exercises 4-5 times per week but is struggling to meet her goal weight.  Jackie is seeking your clinical advice to lose 15 lbs in 3 months.  Her target weight goal is 145 lbs. 

Write a basic meal plan for your client. (At least 4 days of food plan to help Jackie get started)

• Include how many calories each day she will need to consume to lose 1-2 lbs each week. I expect actual numbers you can back up (what are the specific numbers for our client Jackie? I have attached some help) 
• Calculate her complete macro-nutrient breakdown including; total carb consumption, total fat consumption, total protein consumption
• Explain the rationale for all of your choices (The chapter 10 slides will help especially 21-34) What is her energy requirement to stay the same (EER)?.  How many calories does she have to reduce to get to her goal? Please remember Jackie is your client not a dietitian or nutritionist. 

Experiential and Narrative Family Therapy

The Smiths, a family of five, present with their 14-year-old male son, Joshua, who is identified as “the patient.” Almost immediately, the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner notices the subtle struggle between the parents to be heard first, often talking over one another. Joshua finally blurts out, “You see, you two are crazy, and you think it’s me.” Joshua’s father immediately becomes angry, and Joshua’s mom is quick to rush to Joshua’s side. She begins to argue with her husband about his treatment of their son.

The Smiths and other clients like them may be candidates for both experiential therapy and narrative family therapy, and it is important to note that these are distinctly different therapeutic approaches. Experiential therapy examines experiences of the “here and now,” whereas narrative family therapy focuses on retelling one’s story to understand why one behaves in certain ways. When assessing client families and selecting one of these therapies, you must not only select the one that is best for the clients, but also the approach that most aligns to your own skill set.

This week, you compare experiential family therapy and narrative family therapy.

The College of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references.

Narrative Family Therapy  With Stephen Madigan

Psychotherapy.net

In a 3-page paper, address the following: 

• Summarize the key points of both experiential family therapy and narrative family therapy. 
• Compare experiential family therapy to narrative family therapy, noting the strengths and weakness of each.
• Provide a description of a family that you think experiential family therapy would be appropriate, explain why, and justify your response using the Learning Resources. 

Develop a genogram for the client family you selected. The genogram should extend back at least three generations (parents, grandparents, and great grandparents).

 Step 1: Pull out your food journal (Assignment 2.1)

Using your own diet analysis,  set up a dietary consultation as if you were with a client. The client may be fictional or yourself

• Create a clear goal for your “client”.  Weight loss or weight gain.  It can be a made up goal or one that you have for yourself. 
• Analyze your diet by looking at the food entries in the and exercise over the duration of your journal (Are there too many carbs? Too few calories? Too much junk food? ) . Where is your client now and how can you optimize their health SPECIFICALLY! I need the details. 

Some things to include:

• Determine any dietary suggestions to get your client to their goal. What are the changes you suggest to get them to their ideal weight. 
• Does the client (or you) eat more or less over the weekend?
• Does the client (or you) eat more or less during the week?
• Do your exercise patterns change during the week compared to the weekend?
• Does the macronutrient content (Fat, Protein, and Carbohydrates Percentages) work towards the overall goal for yourself or your “client”? If yes, Explain why.  If no, How can you improve to meet the nutritional goal?
• Based on your Food log, clients body composition, and overall health goal- determine if the goal was realistic to achieve.  If yes, explain why.  If not, how would you help them to create a realistic goal. 
• When might you check or reassess your client to see if your plan is working?
