Stephen F. Austin State University students in the School of Human Sciences’ “Medical Nutrition Therapy II” course completed nutrition simulations in collaboration with third-semester students in the DeWitt School of Nursing April 15-16. Dietetics and nutritional sciences students participated in individual 15- to 20-minute simulations acting as dietetic specialists in an acute care setting. Justin Pelham, clinical instructor in James I. Perkins College of Education’s School of Human Sciences, acted as their clinical preceptor. The nursing students role-played as patients who have Type 2 diabetes mellitus and have been hospitalized due to diabetic ketoacidosis.
