File name | Nutritional Screening |
File Description | Nutritional screening is a quick, simple procedure that should be undertaken during the first meeting with the patient. Best practice is to undertake this screening as part of the admission or inital assessment of a person and that it is completed within the first 24 hours of arriving in a care setting. This review should be undertaken by a doctor, a registered nurse, or an HCA. It is critical for the early identification of the existence or high risk of malnutrition. Using an accredited screening tool, such as the 'Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool' ('MUST') raises the awareness of a patient's risk of malnutrition. |
