What are the Potential Interventions Following Nutritional Screening?
If a patient is identified as at risk for malnutrition or is already malnourished, various interventions can be implemented. These may include:
- Dietary Modifications: Tailoring the patient's diet to meet their specific nutritional needs. - Nutritional Supplements: Providing oral nutritional supplements to enhance dietary intake. - Referral to a Dietitian: Collaborating with a registered dietitian for specialized nutritional care. - Monitoring and Re-assessment: Continuously monitoring the patient's nutritional status and re-assessing as needed to ensure the effectiveness of interventions.
