Based on the Jack Spratrsquo;s case study answer the following questions:? -

Jack Sprat is a 55 year-old gentleman who underwent coronary artery bypass graft to treat atherosclerosis. He returns to his internist’s office where you work as a nurse practitioner. Jack reads a lot of books and watches movies about fast foods, saturated fat, and cholesterol. He asks for your opinion of what is the best diet for him. How will you advise him? Jack’s lunch diet recall is as follows: Turkey with Swiss on rye with thousand island dressing Sun chips Diet Coke Based on the Jack Sprat’s case study answer the following questions: What recommendations will you make to improve the nutritional profile of Jack’s lunch? What dietary advice would you give to patients like Jack Sprat who have hypertension? Would you suggest that Jack limit fats in his diet? What are specific fatty acids in specific foods he should eat more of? What would you recommend in relation to dietary cholesterol? Should Jack eat more whole, unprocessed, plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and legumes? Why or why not? What fatty foods should Jack eat less of? Where would you direct Jack for more information on the subject?

Your question is a bit much for a simple question and answer forum. I d say most people either won t be qualified to or have the inclination to answer all of those parts. I would tell J.S to check the sodium levels on the Sun Chips and the diet soda in accordance with his guidelines for sodium intake on a hypertension relieving diet.
