    Study Notes

    Interdisciplinary Approach to Nutrition in Nursing

    • Nurses are key players in an interdisciplinary team, ensuring comprehensive client care related to nutrition.
    • Each team member's decisions impact the client's nutritional status, necessitating coordinated efforts for improved health outcomes.
    • Primary healthcare providers typically designate specific diets, often collaborating with dietitians to create personalized nutrition care plans.
    • Nurses support clients and families in understanding dietary recommendations, identifying preferences, and fostering adherence to nutrition plans.

    Role of Interdisciplinary Team Members

    • Client and Family: Contribute information on preferences and food accessibility.
    • Health Care Provider: Initiates dietary orders based on clinical assessments and lab results.
    • Dietitian: Evaluates the client's nutritional needs and develops tailored nutrition plans.
    • Nurse: Continuously assesses client understanding of nutrition plans and monitors eating habits.
    • Speech Therapist: Evaluates swallowing abilities to inform dietary modifications.
    • Other Specialists: Include occupational and physical therapists who assess self-feeding skills and need for adaptive tools.

    Integrative Nutrition and Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)

    • Integrative nutrition blends medical nutritional therapy with functional medicine to personalize dietary plans focusing on whole foods.
    • Evidence-based practice emphasizes using the latest research to inform nutritional interventions, enhancing patient outcomes.
    • Nursing practice adopts a holistic perspective, considering psychological, social, and cultural factors in nutritional planning.

    National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) Clinical Judgment Model

    • The NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (NCJMM) assists in evaluating nursing students' clinical judgment and decision-making.
    • NCJMM integrates the complexities of real-world scenarios into NCLEX exam items, simulating practical nursing experiences.
    • Understanding this model aids nurses in transitioning from education to practice, especially on licensure exams.

    Nursing Process & Nutrition Assessment

    • The nursing process follows five steps: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation, with a strong focus on nutritional aspects.
    • During assessment, history-taking involves dietary recalls and food frequency questions to understand the client's nutrition profile.
    • Physical assessments related to nutrition include recording height, weight, and body measurements such as waist-hip ratios.
    • The NCJMM offers a framework for systematic assessment, situational analysis, and care planning based on evidence-based practices in nursing.
