What Interventions Can Be Recommended Based on Nutritional Assessment?
Based on the results of a nutritional assessment, several interventions can be recommended: - Dietary Modifications: Tailoring the diet to meet increased energy and protein needs, manage symptoms, and ensure adequate nutrient intake. - Nutritional Supplements: Providing oral nutritional supplements or vitamins and minerals to address specific deficiencies. - Enteral or Parenteral Nutrition: For patients unable to meet their nutritional needs through oral intake, enteral (tube feeding) or parenteral (intravenous) nutrition may be necessary. - Symptom Management: Addressing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and pain to improve food intake. - Multidisciplinary Approach: Collaborating with dietitians, oncologists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care.
