Nurses play a critical role in intervening when prealbumin levels are abnormal:
Nutritional Assessment: Conduct a thorough nutritional assessment to identify potential causes of low prealbumin. Dietary Management: Collaborate with dietitians to develop a high-protein, high-calorie diet plan. Monitoring: Regularly monitor prealbumin levels and assess the effectiveness of nutritional interventions. Patient Education: Educate patients and families about the importance of nutrition and how to maintain a balanced diet.
