This open access book aims to primarily support nurses as leaders
and champions of multimodal, Interdisciplinary nutrition care for
older adults. A structured approach to fundamentals of nutrition
care across Interdisciplinary settings is combined with additional
short chapters about special topics in geriatric nutrition. The
book is designed to provide highly accessible information on
evidence-based management and care for older adults, with a focus
on practical guidance and advice across acute, rehabilitation, and
primary and secondary malnutrition prevention settings.The cost of
malnutrition in England alone has been estimated to be GBP19.6
billion per year, or more than 15% of the total public expenditure
on health and social care. ^65 years. The importance and benefit of
specialised nutrition care, delivered by experts in field, is well
established for those with complex nutrition care needs. However,
despite the substantial adverse impact of malnutrition on patient
and healthcare outcomes, specialised management of this condition
is often under-resourced, overlooked and under-prioritised by both
older adults and their treating teams. As an alternative, timely,
efficient, and effective supportive nutrition care opportunities
may be appropriately implemented by nurses and non-specialist
Interdisciplinary healthcare team members, working together with
nutrition specialists and the older adults they care for.
Practical, low-risk opportunities should be considered across
nutrition screening, assessment, intervention, and monitoring
domains for many patients with, or at risk of malnutrition. Whilst
a variety of team members may contribute to supportive nutrition
care, the nursing profession provide a clear focal point. Nurses
across diverse settings provide the backbone for Interdisciplinary
teamwork and essential patient care. The nursing profession should
consequently be considered best placed to administer
Interdisciplinary, multimodal nutrition care, wherever specialist
nutrition care referrals are unlikely to add value or are simply
not available. As such, the book is a valuable resource for all
healthcare providers dedicated to working with older patients to
improve nutrition care.
