Nutrition Assessment (Definition) “A systematic process of obtaining, verifying, and interpreting data in order to make decisions about the nature and cause of nutrition-related problems. ” Lacey and Pritchett, JADA 2003; 103: 1061 -1072.

Nutrition Assessment Components Gather data, considering Compare to relevant standards Identify possible problem areas

Nutrition Assessment: Critical Thinking Observe Determining appropriate data to collect Selecting assessment tools Distinguishing relevant from irrelevant data Organizing data Determining when problems require referral

Nutrition Diagnosis Nutritional problem Names and describes the problem Problem may already exist, or may be at risk of occurring Not a medical diagnosis

Nutrition Dx Domains: Intake Defined as “actual problems related to intake of energy, nutrients, fluids, bioactive substances through oral diet or nutrition support (enteral or parenteral nutrition) Class: Calorie energy balance Class: Oral or nutrition support intake Class: Fluid intake balance Class: Bioactive substances balance Class: Nutrient balance

Nutrition Dx Domains: Clinical Defined as “nutritional findings/problems identified that relate to medical or physical conditions Class: functional balance Class: Biochemical balance Class: weight balance

Nutrition Dx Domains: Behavioral-Environmental Defined as “nutritional findings/problems identified that relate to knowledge, attitudes/beliefs, physical environment, or access to food and food safety Class: knowledge and beliefs Class: physical activity, balance and function Class: food safety and access

Nutrition Diagnosis Components Problem Etiology Signs/Symptoms Signs Symptoms

Nutrition Diagnosis Components Problem Describes alterations in pt’s nutritional status Diagnostic labels Impaired Altered Inadequate/excessive Inappropriate Swallowing difficulty

Nutrition Diagnosis Components Etiology Related factors that contribute to problem Identifies cause of the problem Helps determine whether nutrition intervention will improve problem Linked to problem

Nutrition Diagnosis Components Etiology Excessive calorie intake related to regular consumption of large portions of high-fat meals Swallowing difficulty related to stroke

Nutrition Diagnosis Components Signs/Symptoms Evidence Linked to etiology

Nutrition Diagnosis Components Etiology Excessive calorie intake “related to” regular consumption of large portions of high-fat meals as evidenced by diet history and weight status Swallowing difficulty related to stroke as evidenced by coughing following drinking of thin liquids

Nutrition Diagnosis Excessive calorie intake “related to” regular consumption of large portions of highfat meals “as evidenced by” diet history & 12 lb wt gain over last 18 mo

Nutrition Diagnosis Components Food, nutrition and nutrition-related knowledge deficit R/T lack of education on infant feeding practices as evidenced by infant receiving bedtime juice in a bottle Altered GI function R/T ileal resection as evidenced by medical history and dumping syndrome symptoms after meals

Nutrition Diagnosis Components Nutrition Diagnosis Statement should be: clear, concise specific related to one problem accurate based on reliable, accurate assessment data

Nutritional vs Medical Dx Medical Diagnosis Diabetes Trauma and closed head injury Liver failure Nutritional Diagnosis

Nutritional vs Medical Dx Obesity Dependence mechanical ventilation Anorexia nervosa Nutritional Diagnosis

ADA’s Nutrition Care Process Steps Nutrition Assessment Nutrition Diagnosis Nutrition Intervention Nutrition Monitoring and Evaluation

Nutrition Intervention Definition “Purposely-planned actions designed with the intent of changing a nutrition-related behavior, risk factor, environmental condition, or aspect of health status for an individual, a target group, or population at large. ” – Lacey and Pritchett, JADA 2003; 103: 1061 -1072 Directed at the etiology or effects of a diagnosis

Intervention Objectives Should be patient-centered Must be achievable Stated in behavioral terms Pt and counselor must establish goals together What will the patient do or achieve if objectives met

Intervention Objectives Problem 1: Involuntary weight loss Objectives: 1. 2.

Intervention Objectives Problem 2: Inadequate protein-energy intake 2° poor appetite Objectives: 1. 2.

Nutrition Intervention translates assessment data into strategies, activities, or interventions that will enable the patient or client to meet the established objectives. Interventions should be specific

Nutrition Intervention Problem 1: Involuntary Weight loss Intervention: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Nutrition Intervention Problem 2: Inadequate protein-calorie intake 2° poor appetite Intervention: 1. 2. 3.

ADA’s Nutrition Care Process Steps Nutrition Assessment Nutrition Diagnosis Nutrition Intervention Nutrition Monitoring and Evaluation

Nutrition Monitoring & Evaluation Components Evaluate outcomes Compare current findings with previous status, intervention goals, and/or reference standards

What gets Measured? Nutrition Monitoring and Evaluation Types of Outcomes • Direct nutrition outcomes • Clinical and health status outcomes • Patient/client-centered outcomes • Healthcare utilization Intermediate-result outcome End-result outcome

Nutrition Goals and Objectives Are necessary in order to evaluate Should be achievable Should be directly or indirectly related to nutrition care

NCP Example: Acute Care Nutrition Assessment Medical hx: 72 y. o. female admitted with decompensated CHF; heart failure team consulted; has been admitted with same dx x 2 in past month; meds: Lasix and Toprol; current diet order: 2 gram sodium; has lost 5 pounds in 24 hours since admission; Output > input by 2 liters Nutrition history: has been told to weigh self daily but has no scale at home.
