Your assignment is to modify the menu to suit the nutritional need of the population you selected.

Menu for patient with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Karen is a 13-year student at Audubon Elementary School who comes to the urgent clinic with diarrhea and fever. This has been going on for a few days but got worse today. According to Karens mother patient has a history of Crohns disease. On assessment patient reports feeling weak and fatigued. Her heart rate is 120 and B/P 90/56. She reports being extremely thirsty and is quenching her thirst by sipping on large bottle of diet coke. She reports taking all her medications religiously. Mother is confused because she has been giving Karen healthy foods such as fruits and salads. On further questioning Karen reports that the family is vegan.
