Mary Ellen Posthauer,RDN,LD,CD,FAND
Objectives
1• Recognize the importance of screening and assessment to
identify malnutrition risk
22• Examine the building block of nutrition(macronutrients and micronutrients)
that dominate healing2. that dominate healing
3• Apply the 2014 NPUAP/EPUAP/Pan Pacific Pressure Injury Alliance nutrition
guidelines into practice
4. • Discuss practical nutrition and hydration strategies for healing wounds
Defining Pressure Ulcers
A pressure ulcer is a localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue, usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear. ( def. NPUAP-EPUAP, 2009)
Normal Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4
Pathogenesis of Pressure Ulcers
Cell (and tissue) death Decrease in
capillary flow
Pressure, shear, friction
Oedema
Fluid escapes into extravascularspace
Adapted from: “ABC of Wound Healing”, Blackwell Publishing, 2006
Increased capillary permeability
Ischaemia, capillary thrombosis, and occlusion of lymphatic vessels

NPUAP/EPUAP/PPPIA Pressure Ulcer Prevention and
Treatment Guidelines
Goal of Guideline
• The goal of this international collaboration was to develop evidence-based recommendations for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers that could be used by health
f i l h h h ldprofessionals throughout the world.• Produced by the Guideline Development
Group(GDG). • Each section had a small work group (SWG)
representatives from each organization.
Guideline Recommendations• SWG-reviewed the entire body of evidence
including new literature and existing evidence tables.
• Formulated conclusions and developed recommendations.
• Reviewed 2009 guidelines and revised based on d
gnew evidence rating.
• Determined strength of body of evidence.• Recommendations and evidence summaries
reviewed by GDG and 986 invited international stakeholders.
• Final draft approved by GDG.• Final stage was determining strength of each
recommendation statement.
General Guideline• The recommendations in this guideline are a general
guide to appropriate clinical practice, to be implemented by qualified health professionals subject to their clinical judgment of each individual case and in consideration of the patient consumer’s personal
f d il blpreferences and available resources.• The guideline should be implemented in a culturally
aware and respectful manner in accordance with the principles of protection, participation and partnership.

Malnutrition
• Increases morbidity and mortality.
• Decreases function and quality of life.
• Increases frequencyIncreases frequency and length of hospital stay.
• Increases health care costs.
White, 2012 J Acad Nutr Diet. 2012 112(5): 730-738.
Diagnosing Adult Malnutrition
The following factors may make malnutrition diagnoses more difficult:
• Infection, stress • Hydration status• Multiple drug use • Chronic disease• Acute illness • Changes in organ
function
Inflammation and Malnutrition• Inflammation (d/t
infection, injury, surgery, etc.): an important underlying factor that increases risk for malnutrition.
• May contribute to suboptimal response to nutrition intervention and increased risk of mortality.
White J, J Acad Nutr Diet2012:112:730-738
Definitions: Adult Malnutrition
• “Malnutrition is most simply defined as any nutritional imbalance.” (Dorland 2011)
• Undernutrition: lack of calories, protein or other nutrients needed for tissue maintenance and repair.
• Undernutrition and malnutrition used interchangeably.
White J, J Acad Nutr Diet 2012:112:730-738
Diagnosing Malnutrition: 2009 Academy Workgroup (with ASPEN reps.)
Identification of >2 of the following characteristics:1. Insufficient energy intake2. Weight loss3. Loss of muscle mass4. Loss of subcutaneous fat5. Localized or generalized fluid accumulation that may
sometimes mask weight loss6. Diminished functional status as measured by hand

Definitions: Adult Malnutrition
• Adult undernutrition: continuum of inadequate intake
Malnutrition ContinuumNon-severe Severe
qand/or increased requirements, impaired absorption, altered transport, and altered nutrient utilization.
• Weight loss can occur at multiple points along this continuum.
• May also have inflammatory, hypermetabolic, and/or hypercatabolic conditions.

Malnutrition and Pressure Ulcers
Fry Fry • Pre-existing malnutrition/weight loss increased the
odds of developing a PU 3.8 times. (2010)
• Australia, odds ration of having a pressure ulcer are hi h ith l t iti i t d LTC (2010)Banks higher with malnutrition in acute and LTC. (2010)

Assessment, and Care PlanningCare Planning
Nutrition Screening
Nutrition Screening
1. Screen nutritional status for each individual at risk of or with a pressure ulcer:– at admission to a health care setting; – with each significant change of clinical condition;
and/or – when progress toward pressure ulcer closure is
not observed. (Strength of Evidence = C, Strength of Recommendation -SOR = probably do it)
©2014 Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers: Clinical Practice Guideline
Nutrition Screening
2. Use a valid and reliable nutrition screening tool to determine nutritional risk. (Strength of Evidence = C, SOR= Probably do it)
3. Refer individuals screened to be at risk of malnutrition and individuals with an existing pressure ulcer to a registered dietitian or an interprofessional nutrition team for a comprehensive nutrition assessment. (Strength of Evidence = C; SOR=probably do it.)

• Loss of appetite related to high risk of malnutrition.
• Increases risk of poor wound healing.
• Decreased ability to eat independently.
↓Risk for undernutrition and delayed healing.

What Does the Evidence Suggest for Optimal Protein Intake for Older Adults
• Positive association between protein ingestion and muscle mass
• Protein spread equally• Protein spread equally between breakfast lunch and dinner )
• If needed, additional protein supplementation should given between meals
Factors Influencing Protein Intake in Older Adults
• Inadequate intake = appetite loss or GI disturbances.
• Reduced ability to utilize available protein=insulin resistance, protein anabolic resistance immobilityresistance, immobility.
• Increased need for protein= inflammatory disease, increased oxidative modification of protein, catabolic conditions associated with acute and chronic diseases.

Fluids: What Does the Evidence Suggest?
Dehydration is a risk factor for pressure ulcer development
Hydration needs must be met to assure proper
prevention and healing
Hydration
1. Provide and encourage adequate daily fluid intake for hydration for an individual assessed to be at risk of or with a pressure ulcer. This must be consistent with the individual’s comorbid conditions and goals. (SOE = C, SOR= Definitely do it)

Methods of Calculating Fluid Needs
In generally healthy individuals that

30 mL/kg BW/day
are adequately hydrated, food accounts for >20% of total fluid intake. (DRI 2004)
Total fluid needs include water content of food.
What Does the Evidence Suggest?
Micronutrients
Micronutrients
Most nutrient needs can be met through a healthy diet
However, individuals with pressure ulcers may not be consuming an adequate diet to meet established nutritional reference standards
Vitamins and Minerals1. Provide/encourage individuals
assessed to be at risk of pressure ulcers to consume a balanced diet that includes good sources of vitamins and minerals. (SOE = C, SOR = Definitely do it)
2. Provide/encourage an individual assessed to be at risk of a pressure ulcer to take vitamin ad mineral supplements when dietary intake is poor or deficiencies are confirmed or suspected. (SOE = C, SOR= Probably do it)

©2014 Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers: Clinical Practice Guideline
Vitamin C
There is no evidence to support vitamin C above the RDI unless a deficiency is diagnosed or suspected.

15
ZincZinc requirements can be met by 2 servings/ day of animal protein.• Meat • Liver• Milk• Milk• Eggs
A multivitamin/mineral supplement daily (15 mg zinc) may be adequate. (DRI 2004)
Zinc
No research has demonstrated an effect of zinc supplementation on improved pressure ulcer healing.
When clinical signs of zinc deficiency are present, zinc should be supplemented at <40 mg elemental zinc/day (UTL).
– Doses >40 mg/day can adversely affect copper status and possibly result in anemia.
– High serum zinc levels may inhibit healing. (Thomas 1997, Reed 1985, Dimant 1999, Goode 1992)

Obesity and Pressure Ulcers
.
87
Obese Individuals
• There are no evidence based guidelines available related to the nutritional needs of the obese person with pressure ulcers
• Adequate calories, protein, fluids and nutrients are needed for healing g– General consensus is that diets should be
liberalized to promote healing– Once the PrU is completely healed, diet
restrictions may be gradually implemented as needed
• Monitor skin integrity and coordinate with RDN (ongoing)
2013 NPUAP Unavoidable Pressure Injury State of the Science Census Conference
Unavoidable Pressure Ulcer
• In 2010 NPUAP defined an unavoidable PU as one that may occur even though providers have evaluated the individual’s clinical condition and PU risk factors have been evaluated and defined and interventions have been implemented that are consistent with individual needs, goals, and recognized standards of practice.
• Occurs even though providers have monitored and evaluated the impact of preventive interventions and revised these approaches as appropriate.

It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics…
“--that individuals have the right to request or refuse nutrition and hydration as medical treatment.
• RDs should work collaboratively as part of an interprofessional health care team to make recommendations on providing, withdrawing, or withholding nutrition and hydration in individual cases and serve as active members of institutional ethics committees.” Maillet JO’S, Schwart DB,Posthauer ME. Position of
Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics. Ethical and legal issues in feeding and hydration. J Acad Nutr Diet.
2013;113(6): 828-833..
Academy’s Position
• Affirms the patient’s right to self-determination as the overriding principle….
• Generally takes precedence over the beliefs or wishes of health care providers.
• Recognizes that each person approaches end of life with diverse cultural, religious, philosophical and personal values.

Health Literacy
• Degree to which individuals, process, and understand basic health information and services to make appropriate health care decisions.
• Involves range of social, culture, and individual factors, such as age, education, and raceReuben DB, Tinetti ME. Goal-oriented patient care —

Health Care Literacy
Health care provider• Due to the severity of the
PrUs and the dementia, enteral feeding is not recommended
Non-Health care person• The dementia is progressing and aggressive tube feeding will not reverse or cure the disease.
h li id f d b i l d i• It is time to stop nutrition support because if is not benefiting the individual
• Feeding your family member may result in aspiration pneumonia
•The liquid food being placed in the tube is not helping and may cause suffering. • Feeding your family member
when he is not sitting up or awake causes food to enter the lungs resulting in infection
When all other nutrition interventions have been tried and failed…
• The goals of palliative wound care are comfort for the individual and limiting the impact of the wound on quality of life, without the overt intentwithout the overt intent of healing
• Implement palliative care in accordance with the individual's wishes, and with consideration to overall health status

Palliative Care
1. Strive to maintain adequate nutrition & hydration compatible with the individual’s condition & wishes( SOE=C SOR=SOE=C, SOR= Definitely to it)
2. Offer nutritional supplements when ulcer healing is the goal. (SOE=C; SOR= Definitely do it)
Nutrition/Hydration Strategies
• Offer six small meals per day
• Liberalize (modify) diet restrictions
• Avoid highly seasoned foods unless requested
• Educate family/individual on food safety issues
Nutrition/Hydration Strategies
• Offer nutritional supplements or fortified foods when appropriate and if tolerated
• Commercial supplements, milkshakes, instant breakfastbreakfast
• Ice cream/ Cream soups, puddings,yogurt, hot cereal or mashedpotatoes with whole milk
Tube Feeding to Relieve Hunger and Thirst
• “Where true hunger and thirst exist, quality of life may be enhanced
• Most actively dying patients do NOT experience hunger or hithirst
• Dry mouth is a problem, but is NOT improved by tube feeding (or IV hydration).”

Steps to Successful Nutrition Care
1• Screen and Assess Nutrition Status• Individualize interventions and develop POC
• Provide diet based on estimated needs consider fortified

• Consider ONS fortified with arginine, vitamin or minerals if needs not met with high calorie/protein supplement
• Consider EN/PN based on resident's wishes, when needs cannot be met orally

Non-Profit
Senate Enrolled Act (SEA 190) Certain organizations, such as religious, nonpublic educational, civic, fraternal, veterans or charitable that are exempt under IRS 501(c)(3) exemptions are exempt from the definition of “Food Establishment”
Unless they operate more than 15 days in a calendar yearThe county may ask for documentation through a “letter of determination” from the IRS
Preparing for Work
Each kitchen must have proper equipment to assess the control of foodborne illness risk factorsMinimum supplies include:
Thermocouple or suitable thermometerThermocouple or suitable thermometerAlcohol swabsChemical test kits Heat-sensitive tape or maximum registering thermometerFlashlightHead covering
Definitions
Time/Temp. Controlled for Safety (TCS) – Also known as potentially hazardous foods, a food that is natural or synthetic and requires temperature control because it is in a form capable of supporting progressive growth of infectious or toxigenic microorganisms.Critical Control Point a point where failure of a standardCritical Control Point – a point where failure of a standard operation procedure could cause harm Danger Zone – a range of temperatures in which foodbornebacteria can reproduceFATTOM – a mnemonic device that is used to describe 6 favorable conditions required for the growth of foodbornepathogens
Equipment
Calibrate your equipmentEven digital thermometers need to be checked for accuracy
Taking Temperatures
Infrared thermometers should not be used for taking food temperaturestemperatures
A thermocouple or digital thermometer should be used for taking internal temperatures of food

Identifying the Risks
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identified the most frequently reported contributing factors to foodborne illness
b d t i th t di tl l t t5 broad categories that directly relate to food safety concerns within retail establishmentsThe categories are termed “Foodborne Illness Risk Factors”
Foodborne Illness Risk Factors
1. Food from Unsafe Sources
2. Inadequate Cooking
3. Improper Holding Temperatures
4. Contaminated Equipment
5. Poor Personal Hygiene
Determining the Risk
Remember you are trying to identify foodborne illness risk factors within the establishment and determine if any are out of control
Food from unsafe sourcesInadequate cookingImproper holding temperaturesContaminated equipmentPoor personal hygiene
Certified Food Handler
Certification of Food Handler Requirements Title 410 7-22
This is a separate rule for the purpose of food handler certification onlyOne certified food handler (CFH) per establishment butOne certified food handler (CFH) per establishment but doesn’t have to be there during all hours of operation The certificate must be from an accredited sourceSome establishments are exempthttps://secure.in.gov/isdh/21059.htm
Identifying the Correct CFH Certificate
*The approved certificate must contain the Conference of Food Protection (CFP) Logo and the ANSI Logo
*As a non-profit you are not required to have this certification
Employee Illness Policy
An employee illness policy should be part of your food safety protocolThis is the mechanism for employees to report symptoms or diagnosis of foodborne illness to the PIC All h PIC h lik lih d f f dbAllows the PIC to prevent the likelihood of foodborne disease transmissionNo requirement for it to be in writing so you will have to ask the PIC

What is Dysphagia?Dysphagia: Impaired swallowing. Difficulty moving food from the mouth to the stomach
Dysphagia can occur in any the phase of swallowing
50-60% of residents in long-term care facilities have dysphagia
33% of patients in acute rehab settings have dysphagia
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/anatomyvideos/000126.htm
Medical & Psychosocial Consequences of Dysphagia
•Risk for aspiration pneumonia
•Dehydration
•Malnutrition
•Respiratory system strains
•Weight loss
•Social Isolation
•Caregiver burden
•Quality of life impact
Age Related Swallowing Changes
•Poor dentition or dentures results in increased food chewing time
•Reduced opening to the esophagus, which can lead to solid food or pills getting “stuck”
•Reduced smell and taste, resulting in decreased appetite or overuse of flavor enhancers
•Delayed onset of airway protection
•Slower swallow
https://vimeo.com/60944584
Signs & Symptoms of Dysphagia
•Coughing during or right after eating or drinking
•Wet or gurgly sounding voice during or after eating or drinking
•Extra effort or time needed to chew or swallow
•Food or liquid leaking from the mouth or getting stuck in the mouth
•Recurring pneumonia or chest congestion after eating
•Weight loss or dehydration from not being able to eat enough

Texture Modified DietsPureed - blended food that can be consumed without chewing
Examples: applesauce, whipped potatoes
Mechanical Soft - Cooked food or soft textured food that is not “crisp”
Examples: cooked vegetables, scrambled eggs, meatloaf, pasta, most fruits
National Dysphagia DietNDD Level 1: Dysphagia-Pureed
•homogenous, very cohesive, pudding-like, requiring very little chewing ability
NDD Level 2: Dysphagia-Mechanical Altered
•cohesive, moist, semisolid foods, requiring some chewing
NDD Level 3: Dysphagia-Advanced
•soft foods that require more chewing ability
•National Dysphagia Diet Task Force. National Dysphagia Diet: Standardization for Optimal Care. Chicago, IL: The American Dietetic Association; 2002.
Texture Modified Diets –Points to Consider
•Limited guidelines for determining correct diet level
•Patient acceptance of diet may be greater if aesthetics of food are enhanced (how does it look? Smell? Taste?)
•At least 1 study has found 91% of patients on a modified diet in 2 long-term care facilities were on overly restrictive diets (they could safely handle less modified diet levels)
•Patients should be monitored & reevaluated at regular intervals to determine if diet changes are needed
Texture Modified Diets –What to Avoid
•Raw vegetables, including lettuce
•Dry, crumbly foods (rice, corn, crackers)
•Cooked asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and other fibrous or rubbery vegetables
•Chewy candies, sticky food items, popcorn, and corn chips
•Mixed Consistency foods (vegetable soup, cereal with milk, Jell-O with fruit)
•Peanut butter, unless used as part of a recipe that is easy to swallow.
Liquid Consistencies
Thin - Liquids made up largely of water, having no additional density
Examples: water, coffee, tea, lemonade, ice cream
Nectar Thick - Liquid having a syrup like consistency; easily sipped through straw; Falls off a tipped spoon slowly
Examples: tomato juice, buttermilk, cream-based
Liquid Consistencies
Honey Thick - Liquid that is substantially thickened to resemble honey thickness; too thick to sip through a straw, but can drink through a cup
Less pourable, will drizzle from a cup or spoon
Pudding Thick - Liquids thickened to the density of a creamy shake; generally needs spoon for intake
Examples: creamy milkshake, blended yogurt

Thickeners Starch vs. Gum Based
STARCH
•Modified cornstarch
•Thickening hot drinks is more challenging
•Clear liquids will appear cloudy & beverages will have a slightly grainy texture
•Stir 1-3 minutes to reach proper consistency, depending on brand; Can continue to thicken over time
GUM
•Xanthan or cellulose gums
•Works well in both hot & cold beverages
•Clear beverages remain clear & smooth, with a slightly slippery texture
•Require vigorous mixing for 5 minutes to reach consistency, but then will remain at that consistency
Pre-thickened Liquids•Ready to drink
•Can be chilled
•Available in 8 oz. and 64 oz. containers
•Available in nectar & honey consistencies
•Variety of juices, milk & water products
•Will not thicken over time or with temperature change
•Some studies have found products may be thicker than nectar-thick liquid guidelines**Kyzima, J B; Strowd, L., Pillsbury, D., Rubin, B. (2008) Managing Dysphagia: Lack of Standardization on Food Viscosities May Compromise Patient Care. Clinical Nutrition INSIGHT: August 2008 -Volume 34 - Issue 8 - p 1–5.
Thickened Liquids –Points to Consider
•Will patients accept thickened liquids?
•Hydration – will they drink less fluids if they are thick?
•Frazier Water Protocol – will access to water between meals (along with stringent oral care) increase fluid intake?
•In general, the research indicates that the frequency of penetration/aspiration decreases as the liquid viscosity increases
•However, the risk of post-swallow residue in the throat increases for liquids with higher viscosities
Other Food Modifications
Volume - smaller bolus for better oral control & safe transit with less residue
Temperature - cold is believed to enhance awareness of a bolus
Taste/Smell - sour taste may result in faster onset of swallow
Carbonation - carbonated liquids may result in less airway penetration than noncarbonated thin liquids
Dysphagia in Patients with Dementia
Mild Dementia
• Changes in taste & smell
• Reduced oral intake
• Weight loss
Moderate to Severe Dementia
• Oral & pharyngeal phase swallowing deficits, including reduced ability to prepare food to swallow, delayed initiation of the swallow, reduced airway protection resulting in aspiration & residue in the throat after the swallow
•Estimated prevalence of 84-93% of patients with dementia
• Behavioral deficits include refusal to eat/drink, reduced oral intake & suspected dehydration
Maximizing Oral Intake –Dining Environment
•Dining Room Size –25 or less residents to reduce distraction
•Reduce Noise – TVs, noisy carts, staff conversations, alarms
•Ambient Music - use quiet music to reduce agitation
•Table Settings – avoid plastic fruit, provide only the necessary utensils
•High Contrast Dishes – maximize patient’s visual recognition of food by high contrast between dishes & food

Maximizing Safe Oral Intake –Food & Meal Modifications
•Provide smaller meals more frequently; offer liquids throughout the day
•Offer more finger foods
•Include foods that are spicy, sweet & sour to maximize sensory input
•Position patient upright at 90 degrees with head in a neutral or chin tuck position to maximize airway protection
•Use hand-over-hand assistance to encourage self feeding
•Encourage patient to alternate between bites of food & sips of liquid to reduce pharyngeal residue & post swallow aspiration
•Check the patient’s mouth for residue after the meal and provide frequent oral hygiene
•Encourage staff to feed patient small bites/sips and allow extra time for patient to swallow
•Collaborate with staff & family members to address negative behaviors – is patient refusal due to discomfort or pain?
Feeding Tubes in Patients with Dementia
Feeding tubes (specifically PEG) are often used in patients with advance dementia as a means of maintaining nutritional support and reducing dysphagia related comorbid conditions
However, published evidence says:◦ Feeding tubes do not reduce risk of aspiration pneumonia◦ Feeding tubes do not prolong survival◦ Feeding tubes have no impact on overall functional status

Nutrition Focused Physical Assessment: Making Clinical Connections
Mary D. Litchford PhD, RDN, LDN
© CASE Software & Books, [email protected]
Points to Ponder
Recognize the role of the RDN in documenting malnutrition using characteristics associated with severe and nonseveremalnutrition in adults.
Discuss the relationship between inflammatory stress, inflammatory biomarkers, cachexia and lab test results.
Identify assessment techniques for nutrient deficiencies and functional status to incorporate into current clinicalassessment practices.
Discuss the use of nutrition focused physical assessment as a tool used in conjunction with lab test results and dietaryintake data.
I. Nutrition Care Process & NFPA
Ask Yourself…
1. What is my level of expertise in doing NFPA?
2. Do I think of myself as an ‘expert’ in identifying malnutrition?
3. Do I automatically look for malnutrition &/or V/M deficiencies?
4. How often do other medical team members identify malnutrition &/or V/M deficiencies as a problem?
5. How do I use my NFPA findings in collaborating with other medical team members?
2013 Practice Paper: Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics Critical Thinking Skills in Nutrition Assessment and Diagnosis
What is NFPA?
1. Does it replace a physical exam conducted by a physician or nurse?
2. Does it replace the things I’m doing now for nutrition assessment?
3. Does it mean more paperwork?
4. Is this really THAT important?
NFPA & Nutrition Assessment Domains
NFPA & IDNT
IDNT* Definition: Findings from an evaluation of bodysystems, muscle and subcutaneous fat wasting, oralhealth, suck, swallow/breathe ability, appetite andaffect.
*IDNT-International Dietetics & Nutrition Terminology
II. Steps in Clinical Reasoning
1. Identify abnormal findings or symptoms
2. Localize the findings anatomically
2.1. Skin, nails, numbness in feet
3. Interpret findings in terms of probable process
4. Make hypothesis about the nature of the patient’s problem
4.1. Looking for nutrition diagnosis
5. Test the hypothesis and establish a working diagnosis
5.1. Request more lab tests, swallowing evaluation or consultation with other team members
6. Develop a plan agreeable with the patient
6.1. Plan or intervention for each problem identified

III. Systems Approach to Assessment
Overall appearance Vital signs SkinHEENT-head, eyes, ears, nose & throat Cardio-pulmonary system Extremities, muscles & bonesDigestive system Nerves & cognitionA. Learn the Lingo…Signs vs Symptoms
1. Sign - an objective or measured finding as perceived by an examiner. Example: lab test data, color of urine2. Symptom - a subjective indication of a disease or a change in condition as perceived by the patient. Example: chest pain,
headache3. Some symptoms may be objectively confirmed.
B. Cardinal Techniques of Exam
1. Inspection- General observation that progresses to a more focused observation using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing;most frequently used technique
2. Palpation- Tactile examination to feel pulsations and vibrations; assessment of body structures, including texture, size,temperature, tenderness, and mobility
3. Percussion- Assessment of sounds to determine body organ borders, shape, and position; not always used in a NFPA4. Auscultation- Use of the naked ear or a stethoscope to listen to body sounds (e.g., heart and lung sounds, bowel sounds,
blood vessels)
C. First Impressions to Note During Interview
1. What is the apparent state of health?
2. What is the level of consciousness?
3. Does the patient show signs of physical distress?
4. Does the patient show signs of emotional distress?
5. How is the person dressed?
6. If the patient is wearing shoes, have the toes been cut out?
7. Do you see any obvious signs of nutrient deficiencies?
8. Do you notice any unexpected odors such as the fruity aroma of diabetes or alcohol?
9. Are there any involuntary movements or signs of paralysis?
D. Physical Characteristics to Note During Interview

A. Stations of Decline in Older Adults
McCullough, D (2008) Your Mother, My Mother: Embracing Slow Medicine. NY: Harper Press
Stability Compromise Crisis Recovery Decline Prelude to dying Death
1. Stability Characteristicsa. Elder successfully manages all aspects of daily living.b. Uncomfortable shift from the vigor and resilience of middle age into new areas limitation.c. Functional capacities are beginning to wane due to neglect or aging.d. Recognition is often dulled by too much television and too few challenges for problem solvingAction Plana. Improve nutrient density of the dietb. Be alert to sales pitches for anti-aging products, i.e. high potency tropical juices, juice extracts, vegetable extracts,
specially formulated vitamins and minerals, herbal supplements, amino acid or enzyme therapyc. Be alert to products are advertised as ‘natural’ alternatives to prescription medicines.NFPAa. Fitness/strengthb. Nutrient deficiency or excessc. Proper use of supplements
2. Compromise Characteristicsa. Time of increased vulnerability and changing circumstances.b. Recognize new limitations, often in frightening circumstances.c. May discount the dangers, deny the ‘event’ occurred or try to cover up the ‘evidence’ to keep family and friends from
knowing the truth.Action Plana. Families and friends are vital to elders to ‘fill in the gaps.’b. Fine-tuning therapeutic and consistency modified diets.c. Evaluate for weakened jaw muscles, loss of teeth, dysfunction of smell and taste, and reduced salivation. Dysphagia
may be due to the side effect of medications.

c. Feeding assistance, consistency modified diets
NFPA:
a. strength & staminab. Unplanned anthropometric changesc. S/S nutrient deficiencies, dehydration, dysphagiad. S/S significant cognitive & emotional decline
6. Prelude to Death Characteristics
a. Death is not imminent, but the elders’ condition is deteriorating.b. Food and fluid intake usually declines and weight loss is common.c. Interventions that worked before are no longer accepted or effective.
Action Plan
a. Comfort foodsb. Palliative care
NFPA:
a. strength & staminab. Unplanned anthropometric changesc. S/S nutrient deficiencies, dehydration, dysphagiad. S/S significant cognitive & emotional decline
IX. Putting the Pieces Together: Write an Action Plan to incorporate NFPA into your practice.
1. Review Critical Thinking Skills in Nutrition Assessment and Diagnosis. Determine where you are on the continuum and where youNEED to be.
2. Write an Action Plan to incorporate NFPA & characteristics of malnutrition into your Practice.
3. Meet with your supervisor to discuss using NFPA & the characteristics of malnutrition.
4. Complete any inservice ed. requirements of your employer before doing hands on assessments ( i.e. standard & universalprecautions).
5. Ask for additional reference books & training at work to assess for fluid accumulation & changes in body composition.
6. Practice on family, friends and then patients.
7. Document your professional continuing education and clinical practicums including competency assessment.
8. Be alert to changes from The Academy & ASPEN. The ‘characteristics of malnutrition’ are a work in progress!
START NOW!
