How do Nurses Assess the Need for Nutritional Adjuvants?
Nurses assess the need for nutritional adjuvants through a comprehensive nutritional assessment. This may include reviewing the patient's medical history, conducting physical examinations, and evaluating dietary intake. Tools such as the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) or the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) can be used to identify patients at risk of malnutrition.
