Hi! This is Ivan Jess Soteo, a level two nursing student from West Visayas State University. I was born on May 1, 2002, and am currently 20 years old. Nowadays, I strive to live my life to the fullest along with my friends as we venture on the life of being a student nurse.

So why did I write this e-portfolio?

This e-portfolio serves as a journal on my entire experience as I ventured into our NUR 212 course, most known as, Nutrition and Diet Therapy. Here one can see the activities I complied in this course in the entirety of the first two months of this school year, including both individual and group works.

Nurses support clients' recovery from sickness and surgery, encourage healthy eating to avoid disease, as well as instruct clients on how to best manage chronic illnesses with healthy eating. Obesity and chronic illnesses like diabetes mellitus or cardiovascular disease can be avoided with a healthy diet. Knowing that it is simpler to sustain health than to recover from illness, nurses aggressively promote good eating habits in order to provide patients the skills they need to do so. Even when a patient has a weak appetite or nausea, nurses utilize ways to encourage proper nutrition in patients who are recuperating from illness or surgery.

There are several methods that nurses may instruct their patients on healthy eating. Community health depends on lectures at community health centers. With the proper information, a nurse can create various presentations to deliver to a group of elderly people at a health conference. Additionally, they might provide reading materials for the guests to go home and continue their research. Similar to this, a school nurse may inform students about healthy eating at a school event and provide them with pamphlets to take home.

The first week of classes served as an orientation for us on the subject provided by our adviser for this course, Ma'am Mary Kristine Amboy. We were then tasked to make a reflective journal containing our own objectives and some of our expectations for this course.

The official lesson has begun in week two. where the core concepts of food treatment and nutrition were addressed. It is exciting to understand how healthy eating may benefit your body and to investigate the mechanisms our bodies utilize to change the food we eat into something our bodies can use. Moreover, we have also been tasked a group work to work on for this week.

We were taught about the various planning methods for nutrition and food treatment during week three. The four different kinds of DRIs as well as their unique purposes were taught to me. As part of this course's requirements, we had to created our own dietary guidelines and plates that fit the Filipino way of life and are utilized by Filipino families to better their health for our own selves, also known as our My Plate Meal Plan.

The six important nutrients—carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water—along with their structures and roles were covered in week four's lesson. Understanding how a single nutrient group can have such a big influence on your body is really intriguing. Additionally, we have begun this week's preparations for the week 7 culminating activity.

In the fifth week, we discussed about the way our bodies use the energy it produces, an. We also accomplished a number of calculations related to our diet, including our DBW, BMR, TEE, and such. It provided a comprehensive understanding of how the body utilizes nutrients and how they may be converted into energy. We all performed our calculations and then offered a diet recommendation based on the findings.

We discussed in class about using the nursing approach to administer nutrition and food treatment for week six. In order to provide suitable diagnoses and therapies, it is also essential to have a precise and complete examination of your client's nutritional condition and health.

We finished the course for the midterms in week 7 with a large-scale case presentation that included IEC materials. As we revealed all the information we had learnt during our presentation, it was such a gratifying day. We were able to generate some excellent ideas through cooperation and teamwork as we confidently and thoroughly presented our work.
