FICTIONAL CASE · SELF-REFLECTION WITHOUT A SCORE
A 58-year-old man who remains overweight has loosened his belt over several months. He eats less because swallowing is uncomfortable and has not been weighed recently. His family notices declining health.
What two objectives should guide this consultation?
Measure the loss and intake, and promptly investigate dysphagia while assessing nutritional risk. Overweight does not prevent malnutrition. Offering supplements without investigating an obstruction or other cause is insufficient; inability to maintain hydration would increase urgency.
