摘要:

Surveys have shown that mainutrition is present in approximately 50% of all hospitalized patients. With the continued reduction in length of stay in acute care facilities, it is critical that ALL patients receive a nutrition screen and, when appropriate, a comprehensive nutritional assessment. Once the nutrition evaluation has been completed, the next step is to determine the most appropriate route of nutrition intervention. This article provides some guidelines that can be used to determine the type of nutritional support to be implemented. It also contains information on access routes, benefits, and complications with interventions for both enteral tube feeding and parenteral nutrition.

摘要:

Hospital-based nursing case management as a model of healthcare delivery has substantially grown over the last 10 years. Nursing case management as a viable professional role has developed along with this trend. In an era of decreasing reimbursements and increasing accreditation requirements, hospital administrators view nurse case managers as one answer to balancing cost and quality. However, the actual role and practice of nurse case managers within the hospital setting is inconsistent and often depends on the needs and expectations of the organization, as well as the level of experience and educational preparation of the nurse case manager.
