This year’s Malnutrition Awareness Week will be focused on the nutrition screening process and diagnosing malnutrition within specialty populations. The programs will also address continued treatment of malnourished individuals after discharge. This webinar will provide recent updates from the recent nutrition screening systematic review for the adult and pediatric populations.

Objectives:

Assess and analyze validity and reliability evidence to determine the most appropriate screening tool to identify those at risk for malnutrition in pediatric populations
Describe application of malnutrition screening tool(s) in different setting
Highlight the difference between a nutrition screen for malnutrition and a nutrition assessment for malnutrition
