Nutritional Principles in Nursing: Effective Nutritional Assessment Tool
EFFECTIVE NUTRITIONAL ASSESSMENT TOOL Nutritional Principles in Nursing: Effective Nutritional Assessment Tool Though malnutrition is not a common symptom or side effect of the aging process, it can affect older adults as a result of many physical, psychological, social, environmental, and dietary risk factors (DiMaria-Gahlili 2012). Likewise, though these are not always the case in older adults diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, dehydration and malnutrition can easily affect these patients; they “can develop insidiously, especially where people are confused, unable to recognize the usual signals of hunger or thirst, or unable to communicate their needs”
