Introduction: Sarcopenia and benign prostatic hyperplasia are two common conditions in older adults which can affect their nutritional status and quality of life, also being associated with adverse health outcomes.
Objective: To evaluate the result of the nutritional care process application, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND), in an institutionalized elderly patient with sarcopenia and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Methods: The case of a male geriatric patient in whom the nutritional care process was applied for seven weeks is presented. In the evaluation of nutritional status, the history related to food/ nutrition, anthropometric measurements, analysis of biochemical data, medical examinations and procedures, physical findings focused on nutrition, and evaluation and monitoring tools were considered. After this, the nutritional diagnoses were identified to establish the goals and carry out the nutritional intervention; lastly, the nutritional monitoring was carried out.
Results: During the period of application of the nutritional care process, the patient was able to increase his energy, protein and fluid intake, complement his eating plan with a specialized polymeric formula, ensure his micronutrient requirement, have a supplementary vitamin D3 therapy and receive nutritional guidance.
Conclusions: The nutritional strategies applied allowed to preserve the body weight and muscle mass of the patient, as well as to improve his mobility. Considering the importance of nutritional status in the evolution of these patients, it is proposed to apply the nutritional care process to guide decision-making and ensure optimal nutritional treatment.
