nurchat discusses - assessing & maintaining nutrition in patients - nov 8th 8pm
DESCRIPTION
With one third of all patients coming into hospital at risk of malnutrition (Nursing Times 2011) it is more important than ever that we ensure nutrition of our patients remains high on the agenda. As Nurses we are all aware that “Good nutrition, hydration and enjoyable mealtimes can dramatically improve older peoples health and well being” (McWilliams 2008) and how important it is to consider nutrition when thinking of other aspects of care such as wound healing, medication, and susceptibility to infection. So with this in mind how can we identify these “at risk” patients at the point of admission?TRANSCRIPT
