    The patient was having difficulty swallowing and was unable to eat properly. This resulted in an imbalance of nutrition and less than the body's requirements. The plan was to collaborate with a dietician to determine calorie needs, weigh the patient daily, and provide small, frequent feedings rather than three large meals to help the patient gain weight gradually over time and avoid signs of malnutrition by discharge.
