The priority of nutrition varies on a patient to patient basis and should be discussed with the patient and family. Ex. a patient who has had throat surgery may have a lot of pain swallowing and thus the pain will be priority: continuity of care. Patients out of facility environment needs to be discussed so nutritional plan can continue out of hospital. It is often the job of the nurse to educate clients on nutrition and how it can affect health or disease. Ensure all planning and education provided takes into consideration the social determinants of health. Education includes teaching about the risks of foodborne illness and how to minimize risk of exposure: acute care. Many ill of debilitated patients experience anorexia (loss of appetite) and this their nutritional status needs to be reassessed often.
