Nutrition Department
Patients are screened for nutritional risk as part of the Nursing assessment. Once a patient is identified by the nurse, the dietitian assesses the patient and determines the level of risk and complexity of assessment, including: age; diagnosis/procedure or treatment. The dietitian is especially trained in the assessment and care of the forced fed, metabolically compromised patient. Patients are educated on their modified diet prior to discharge. The dietitians educate patients and families in individualized sessions.
