5. Nutrition Care Process
• Nutrition Assessment

7. Nutritional Assessment
The purpose of nutritional assessment is to:
• Identify individuals at risk of becoming malnourished
• Identify individuals who are malnourished
9. Nutritional Assessment
1. History
• ↓ weight in last 6 months – e.g. Malnutrition Universal
Screening Tool (MUST)
• Changes in dietary intake (e.g. Dietary History, Food diary,
Observed Food Consumption)
• Hydration Status
• Quality of diet (e.g. Mediterranean Diet Score)
10. Nutritional Assessment
1. History
• Gastrointestinal symptoms (i.e. Bristol Stool Chart)
• Functional capacity – i.e. Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10)
(if the VFS or FEES not possible)
• Disease and its relation to nutritional requirements
11. Nutritional Assessment
2. Physical examination
Detection of relevant signs helps in establishing the nutritional
diagnosis
• Subcutaneous fat (i.e. waist circumference, bio impedance
analysis)
• Muscle wasting
• Ankle edema
• Sacral edema
• Ascites

• Clinical Activities- Interfaces
• Artificial Nutrition (enteral and parenteral Nutrition)
• Dysphagia (IDDSI Framework)
• Healthy Nutrition Guidelines
• Recommendations
26. Artificial Nutrition (enteral and
parenteral Nutrition)
• Partial Enteral Nutrition (PEN) = 30-50 % calories
through formula and the remainder is from solid food or a
regular diet
• Exclusive Enteral Nutrition (EEN) = 100 % calories
through formula; you do not eat any regular food
• Dietetic Products and Foods for Special Medical
Purposes
27. Artificial Nutrition (enteral and
parenteral Nutrition)
• Patients with prolonged severe dysphagia after stroke that
presumably last for more than 7 days should receive early (not
more than 72 h) enteral tube feeding
• Critically ill stroke patients with decreased level of
consciousness that need mechanical ventilation should receive
early (not more than 72 h) enteral tube feeding
• If enteral feeding is likely necessary for a longer period of time
(>28 days), a PEG should be chosen and placed in a stable
clinical phase (after 14-28 days)

30. Dysphagia
Signs of swallowing problems:
• coughing or choking when patient is eating or drinking
• food or drink going down the wrong way
• still having food or drink left in the mouth after
swallowed
31. Dysphagia
Signs of swallowing problems:
• not being able to chew food properly
• taking a long time to swallow or finish a meal
• being short of breath when the patient is swallowing
33. Dysphagia : International
Dysphagia Diet
Standardisation Initiative
(IDDSI)
• 2013
• Goal: developing new global standardised terminology
and definitions to describe texture modified foods and
thickened liquids used for individuals with dysphagia of
all ages, in all care settings, and all cultures
34. Dysphagia : International
Dysphagia Diet
Standardisation Initiative
(IDDSI)
• Final dysphagia diet framework consisting of a
continuum of 8 levels (0-7)
• Levels are identified by numbers, text labels and colour
codes

Guidelines
• MIND diet
• ↓cognitive decline in

• rich in whole foods,
including fruits and
vegetables
• elements of the
Mediterranean-style diet
and the DASH diet

40. Recommendations
• All patients should be screened for malnutrition at the time
of admission and weekly thereafter
• Stroke patients should also have their hydration assessed on
admission, reviewed regularly and managed so that normal
hydration is maintained
• Nutrition support should be initiated for people with stroke
who are at risk of malnutrition. This may include oral
nutritional supplements (ONS), specialist dietary advice
and/or enteral tube feeding (ETF)
41. Recommendations
• People with dysphagia should be given food, fluids and
medications modified in a form that can be swallowed
without aspiration
• Ensure palatable diet, presented in a way to promote
nutritional intake
