Meal planning in a nursing context can be challenging due to several factors:
Changing Health Conditions: Patients' health conditions can change rapidly, requiring frequent adjustments to their meal plans. Budget Constraints: Limited financial resources can restrict the availability of certain foods. Patient Compliance: Ensuring patients follow the meal plan can be difficult, especially if they have dietary restrictions they do not like. Time Constraints: Nurses often have limited time to assess, plan, and monitor meal plans due to their workload.
