摘要
Background: A common problem among senior people, malnutrition greatly affects their quality of life, functional level, and health results. The complexity of malnutrition in this population calls for a multifarious strategy for nutrition screening and treatment. Aim: This study aims to explore the critical role of nursing staff in identifying malnutrition and implementing effective nutritional interventions for elderly patients. Methods: With an eye on definitions of malnutrition, biomarkers, related hazards, management techniques, and present guidelines and recommendations, a thorough literature study was undertaken. The study looks at the constraints and obstacles nursing staff members encounter in this regard as well as the nursing interventions required to solve malnutrition-including screening methods and tailored care plans. Results: Results show that although many medical experts evaluate nutritional status using biochemical markers, these can be deceptive, particularly in very unwell patients. The study emphasizes the need of include physical evaluations and patient-centered strategies to more precisely spot malnutrition. Improving patient outcomes proved to depend critically on nursing interventions including regular nutritional screening, dietary modification instruction, and working with dietitians. Notwithstanding these suggestions, time restrictions, lack of expertise, and inadequate resources all impede successful application. Conclusion: The results underscore the essential role of nurses in the early identification and management of malnutrition among elderly patients. Enhancing nursing education and training related to nutrition can significantly improve referral rates and intervention efficacy. Addressing the existing limitations will facilitate better care and optimize nutritional support for vulnerable populations.
