The Nursing Assistant: Nutrition and Hydration by PDF Summary

Book Description: A caregiver's assistance and encouragement play an important role in helping residents receive adequate food and fluid intake. Federal regulations require that nursing homes provide appropriate nutritional care and do everything possible to prevent unplanned weight loss among residents. Failure to fulfill these requirements can result in survey deficiencies, fines or legal action. A resident who does not receive adequate food and fluid intake is often weak and more susceptible to diseases, falls, bone fractures, confusion and agitation, bruises, skin tears and pressure ulcers. Fortunately, malnutrition among elderly residents is most often avoidable. To help ensure proper nutrition, each resident at the facility must receive a nutritional assessment from a registered dietitian on a regular basis.
