Malnutrition in nursing homes can be

a dietitian, the provision of appropri-

monitoring of nutritional status. Nurs-

a patient‘s nutritional status.
The nutrition support team should as-

proved patients outcomes and with

and can improve cost effectiveness.
Nutrition team can organize nutrition
support services with different educa-
tion (dietitian, nurse, physician, phar-
macist, administration of nutrition
support therapy).
Screening for malnutrition is recom-
mended in all elderly subjects and
must be carried out at least once a year
in general practice, and once monthly
in institutions, and during each hospi-
tal stay. Screening may be done using
a questionnaire which must include at
the very least a search for risk factors
and body weight changes, such as the
MNA (Mini Nutritional Assessment)
and using a combination with a nutri-
tional examination.
