Answer to Question 1

 Intake by mouth with modified diet via diet recall
Whether or not she is following recommendations/strategies
 Protein modifications with medication use
 Weight changes, GI motility/output, GERD
 Functional capacity with UPDRS
 Labs (albumin, iron status, hydration)
 The need for alternative nutrition support (compliance with use/care of feeding tube)

Answer to Question 2

 If she is able to eat, provide her with foods that she likes with increased nutrient density.
 Small, frequent feedings work well to minimize the volume of food consumed and stress on both the cardiac and respiratory systems.
 Within her fluid allowance, use of a nutrient-dense liquid supplement may be easier than attempting to consume solid food.
 Consume fluids between meals to prevent their contribution to fullness during mealtime
