Based on the assessment, nurses can implement various nutritional interventions, including:
- Dietary modifications: Tailoring the patient's diet to meet specific needs, such as low-sodium for hypertension or high-protein for wound healing. - Oral nutritional supplements: Providing additional nutrients through shakes or bars when dietary intake is insufficient. - Enteral nutrition: Administering nutrition directly into the gastrointestinal tract via a feeding tube. - Parenteral nutrition: Delivering nutrients intravenously when the GI tract is non-functional.
