Nutritional intervention in a case of Anorexia

The videoclip presents a case of anorexia from a dietetitian’s point of view.
At different points in the videoclip, there are 4 questions which act as brainstorming practice that stimulate the students to anticipate or summarize in order to raise their awareness and increase their autonomy in learning. The lecturer may decide to stop the videoclip during the Questions slides (Q1-Q4) and resume after the students have provided their own written answer.
