The Cleveland Clinic Center for Human Nutrition developed the
Nutrition-Focused Physical Exam (NFPE) to assist bedside clinicians
in the nutrition assessment of their patients and to help discern
the presence and degree of malnutrition. The Academy-ASPEN
Consensus Statement and Characteristics for Identification of
Malnutrition has been a catalyst to realizing the importance of
incorporating a nutrition-focused physical exam (NFPE) as part of a
comprehensive nutrition assessment and to standardize the approach
in assessing the nutritional status of patients. Most healthcare
disciplines perform a physical exam of their patients, and a NFPE
should be part of the nutrition clinician's skill set. This
handbook discusses the components of the NFPE and includes
pictorial representations of various stages of muscle and fat
depletion (normal-mild-moderate-severe), vitamin and mineral
losses, and fluid balance. Techniques and tips that can be used in
daily practice when examining patients, as well as charts and
references, are provided. Clinical characteristics are discussed,
along with the influence of inflammation and functional status.
This guide is intended to help the clinician develop their NFPE
skills. The spiral-bound cover allows the handbook to lay flat for
easy referral and assessment charts include side-by-side coloir
illustrations. Chapters include: Preparation for the physical exam.
Inflammation. Physical exam of subcutaneous muscle and fat stores.
Assessment of fluid status (accumulation; dehydration). Examination
of functional. Status and assessment of micronutrient status. The
appendix includes a check-list for conducing an NFPE.
