Once dietary habits are assessed, nurses should take the following steps to address identified issues:
1. Education: Provide information on the importance of a balanced diet and how to achieve it. 2. Counseling: Offer personalized advice and strategies to improve dietary habits. 3. Referrals: Refer patients to a dietitian or nutritionist for specialized care if needed. 4. Follow-Up: Schedule follow-up appointments to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments to the care plan.
