Unit:<\/b> HM308 – Clinical Nutrition & Food Service Management<\/h3>\n

Assessment Task:<\/b> Assessment 2: Therapeutic Menu & Operations Proposal<\/h3>\n

Weighting:<\/b> 40% <\/span>Due Date:<\/b> Week 11,<\/span> Friday,<\/span> 5:<\/span>00 PM<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Assessment Overview<\/h3>\n

This project requires you to apply advanced knowledge of nutrition,<\/span> dietary requirements,<\/span> and food service management to develop a comprehensive menu and operations proposal for a specific customer group with complex therapeutic needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

This assessment moves beyond standard menu planning.<\/span> You are required to design a menu that is nutritionally appropriate,<\/span> operationally viable,<\/span> and financially costed,<\/span> while justifying your choices with evidence-based research.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The Scenario<\/h3>\n

You must choose <\/span>one (1)<\/b> of the following scenarios as the basis for your entire proposal:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    Scenario A: Aged Care Facility.<\/b> A 70-bed residential aged care facility.<\/span> The resident cohort has a high prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes,<\/span> dysphagia (requiring texture-modified foods – Levels 4,<\/span> 5 & 6),<\/span> and a significant risk of malnutrition (requiring high-energy,<\/span> high-protein options).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Scenario B: Hospital Paediatric Ward.<\/b> A 25-bed children’s ward.<\/span> Patients include those recovering from surgery (requiring clear fluid,<\/span> free fluid,<\/span> and soft diets) and children with multiple food allergies (specifically dairy,<\/span> soy,<\/span> and gluten).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    Scenario C: Elite Athlete Training Centre.<\/b> A dining hall servicing 100 high-performance athletes (e.<\/span>g.,<\/span> swimmers,<\/span> cyclists).<\/span> Needs include high-carbohydrate\/protein-timed meals,<\/span> management of contraindications (e.<\/span>g.,<\/span> supplements),<\/span> and accommodation of vegetarian\/vegan ethical preferences.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    \nQ5: What would the health consequences (if any) be if you ignored the special dietary requirements of this customer group?
                    \nSatisfactory ? Unsatisfactory ?
                    \nQ6: What goals(s) would you set for your menus based on the information you\u2019ve researched about your customer group. That is, what are you hoping to achieve by planning and documenting a meal plan and menu?

                    \nTask 1.2: Document a menu overview
                    \nSteps to follow
                    \n1. Go to the \u2018Additional Resources\u2019 folder located in the Learning Management System (LMS), open and save a copy of Practical assessment – Menu overview locally on your computer.
                    \n2. Discuss and confirm the time period for your cyclic menu prior to commencing this task, for example, two, three or four weeks.
                    \n3. Brainstorm a range of menu ideas to suit the customer, dietary and cultural or religious requirements identified in Task 1.1 for at least two weeks of your cyclic menu.
                    \n4. Sort your menu suggestions into a rough draft of your menu using the menu overview template.
                    \n5. Save your completed menu overview as Practical assessment – Menu 1 overview. You will use this information to complete Task 1.3.
                    \nNote: It is important that you include the menu number in your file name (as above) and number the tasks sequentially. You are required to repeat these tasks for six different menus throughout this assessment.
                    \nSatisfactory ? Unsatisfactory ?<\/p>\n
