Abstract:
The participation of nurses in nutritional screening and assessment is not only the foundation for achieving full coverage of nutritional screening and assessment for hospitalized patients, but also an important guarantee for preventing and improving adverse clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients. Nurses should start by distinguishing between the concepts of nutritional screening and nutritional assessment, selecting patient-appropriate nutritional screening and assessment tools, and accurately timing nutritional screening and assessment to correctly perform nutritional screening and assessment. At the same time, nurses have a unique role and value in identifying nutritional risks in hospitalized patients, performing nutritional screening and assessment, and multidisciplinary nutritional diagnosis and treatment. Although nurses face many challenges in practice, they can address these challenges through artificial intelligence empowerment, the development of nutritional screening and assessment standard processes, the provision of health education to assist patients in self-management, and the establishment of training systems.
