Nutrition Support and Transition of Care Series Part 1: Transitioning off Nutrition Support and the Use of Oral Supplements
May 6, 2021 12:00pm
‐ May 6, 2021 1:30pm
The transition off nutrition support is an important part of medical
nutrition therapy and must be given special attention to decrease the
risk of malnutrition and/or prevent malnutrition. Meeting nutritional
requirements and ensuring adequate tolerance to nutrition support is
essential when a patient is transitioning from parenteral to enteral
nutrition as well as enteral nutrition to an oral diet. Additionally,
making the transition out of the intensive care unit to the general
hospital ward and eventually to the home setting requires closely
monitoring the patient to prevent complications that may be associated
with nutrition support and nutritional deficiencies. This webinar, the
first of a two-part series will focus on these issues in the adult
patient.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the importance of adequate and safe transitions from enteral and parenteral nutrition to an oral diet
Outline approaches to successfully transition patients from nutrition support to achieving optimal oral intake
Identify
and address challenges in achieving adequate nutrient intake during
transition from the intensive care unit to the ward setting
Identify patients who could benefit from nutritional supplementation, before, during and after hospitalization
Describe clinical scenarios where nutritional supplementation has shown positive clinical benefit
