Answer to Question 1

I do not think it is ever too early to start nutrition intervention, so I would try to increase his caloric and protein intake as much as possible before surgery.

Answer to Question 2

A low-cholesterol, heart disease prevention diet. His diet post open-heart surgery should not be contraindicated for COPD. Because of his need for healing from surgery and his weight loss from COPD, CJ needs increased protein, kcals, and vitamins and minerals.

Because of his current difficulty breathing, CJ will need smaller more frequent meals that are easy to chew and swallow.
