Your patient is a 2-year-old male named Justin. He is suffering from hypotonia (decreased muscle tone), weakness and growth failure, and is unable to walk. His mother has just brought him into the emergency room from the family beach house, where they have been spending the summer, because he has had a seizure. X-rays indicate that the toddler is suffering from rickets, which is a result of a nutritional deficiency of Vitamin D. But his mother insists that her son’s diet is not Vitamin D-deficient. He drinks three glasses of milk a day, and his diet also includes meat and eggs. A simplified scheme of Vitamin D metabolism is shown to the left. The chemical name of active Vitamin D is 1α, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, and it is synthesized via the pathway shown. Catalysts, both in the form of enzymes and ultraviolet light, are required for Vitamin D synthesis. The two main sources of active Vitamin D are diet and sunlight. Food supplemented with “Vitamin D” usually contains…

Staff had encouraged her to eat more and had routinely prepared the foods she liked the most. Still, she was losing weight and was about 15 pounds below her ideal weight. At a staff meeting to discuss Ms. Mellon's food consumption, it was discovered that she was generally eating breakfast but not lunch or dinner.

She also was not drinking much water and staff wondered if this was part of the problem. Because Ms. Mellon did not talk, staff could not find out why she wasn't eating more than breakfast. Staff decided to use the "Determine Your Nutritional…
