How Can Nurses Improve the Accuracy of a 24-Hour Dietary Recall?
To enhance the accuracy of a 24-hour dietary recall, nurses can employ several strategies:
Use standardized tools and questionnaires to guide the interview. Employ visual aids such as food models or portion size guides. Encourage patients to be as honest and detailed as possible. Conduct recalls on multiple days to capture dietary variability. Provide training for nurses on effective interview techniques and probing questions.
