Nutrition Assessment  Nutrition Diagnosis (Problem) Nutrition Interventions Nutrition Monitoring & Evaluation

Acute / LTC Food Allergy

Adam Everyman is admitted to Green Acres Retirement Home after being discharged from Good Health Hospital. While reviewing Adam’s medical records transferred from Good Health Hospital and taking an updated patient history, Aaron Attending confirms that Adam Everyman has an allergy to eggs that initially manifests as hives quickly followed by anaphylactic shock. Aaron Attending adds the food allergy to the allergy list area of the patient record of the EHR system and documents it as severe (critical) noting the associated adverse reactions of hives followed by anaphylaxis. The food allergy is now readily visible to anyone who reviews the chart, including the nurse staff, pharmacists, and ancillary departments.

Acute / LTC Food Allergy – cont.

The EHR system sends an electronic message via the interface to the FNMS notifying Food and Nutrition Services of Adam Everyman's food allergy to eggs along with the clinician’s assessment of the severity/criticality and a summary of the reported adverse reaction symptoms. The FNMS acknowledges receipt of the new allergy order and updates Adam’s record in the FNMS. The FNMS is able to identify food products with eggs and remove them from Adam Everyman’s menu. Eggs are now prevented from being served to Adam Everyman, minimizing the risk of Adam Everyman experiencing hives or anaphylactic shock due to egg exposure during this stay at Green Acres Retirement Home.

Acute / LTC - Food Intolerance

Adam Everyman is discharged from Good Health Hospital and admitted to Green Acres Retirement Home. While reviewing medical records transferred from Good Health Hospital and taking an updated patient history Aaron Attending identifies that Adam Everyman has food intolerance to lactose. When questioned about this, Adam Everyone states that he avoids milk and dairy due to GI cramping and diarrhea. Aaron Attending updates the appropriate section of the EHR and documents the lactose intolerance along with the adverse reactions reported by the patient. He also enters a lactose-free nutrition order.

Acute / LTC Food Intolerance – Cont.

The EHR system sends an electronic message via the interface to the FNMS notifying Food and Nutrition Services of Adam Everyman's lactose intolerance and the lactose-free nutrition order.

The FNMS acknowledges receipt of the new food intolerance order and updates Adam’s record in the FNMS. Using the intolerance code for lactose-free, the FNMS is able to prevent serving standard milk/dairy products and instead acceptable lactose-free substitutes are offered and/or served to Adam. Adam Everyman receives all his meals with acceptable lactose-free food substitutes increasing his satisfaction while minimizing the risk that he will have an adverse reaction from lactose ingestion.

Acute / LTC Food Preferences (ethnic, cultural, religious)

Eve Everywoman has been transferred to the post-partum care unit of Good Health Hospital following birth of her child. Eve is hungry and her doctor has ordered a general/healthy diet so she can begin receiving meal trays. However, Eve tells her nurse, Nancy Nightingale, that she does not eat any beef or pork, but will eat other meat products including fish, seafood, poultry and eggs. Nancy updates Eve’s nutrition record in the EHR to notify the Food & Nutrition Services Department that Eve has special food preferences and selects (No Pork and No Beef) from a list of pre-defined food preference options.

Acute / Long-term Care Food Dislikes and Preferences

The EHR system sends an electronic message via the interface to the FNMS notifying Food and Nutrition Services of Eve’s food preferences. The FNMS automatically acknowledges receipt of the list of food preferences and updates Eve’s nutrition record. A meal tray is prepared for Eve such that items containing beef or pork are substituted with other available meat/protein options for tonight’s dinner. Eve receives her dinner tray featuring a poultry entrée that satisfies her food preferences.

Dietitian Consultation Flow

* Update/revise to link dietitian consultation back to enter new or modify nutrition orders

Revised - Dietitian Consultation Request

Adam Everyman, a cancer patient who has experienced significant weight loss since beginning chemotherapy, is admitted to the Oncology Unit at Good Health Hospital. He is on currently on a ‘General’ oral diet. Rachel Resident writes an order for a Dietitian consultation in electronic medical record (EHR) which includes her electronic signature and a date/time stamp. The Dietitian consultation order request auto-populates on the dietitian task list within the EHR and/or it may be communicated through the EHR to Food & Nutrition Services via an electronic interface to the FNMS.

Dietitian Consultation Request

Food & Nutrition Services contacts Connie Chow, the Dietitian responsible for the oncology unit, and communicates the details of the dietitian consultation order. Connie completes the requested service by conducting a nutrition assessment and then documents Adam’s nutrition diagnoses/problems along with recommended nutrition interventions in the nutrition care plan area within the EHR which includes her electronic signature, date and time stamp. Rachel Resident reviews the nutrition recommendations and concurs, so she modifies Adam’s current nutrition orders.*  

Nutrition Care Process Model

Conduct Nutrition Assessment

Food & Nutrition Services contacts Connie Chow, the dietitian responsible for the oncology unit, and communicates the request for a dietitian consultation order for newly admitted cancer patient, Adam Everyman, who has experienced significant weight loss since beginning chemotherapy. She collects important and relevant assessment data including current diet order, weight history and recent energy intake from the EHR and FNMS along with information from Adam and his family about his current and usual eating pattern and recent changes in appetite. Connie notes that Adam reports that he has a poor appetite and has lost 5 pounds in the past week. Adam also complains of mouth pain. Connie observes that Adam has several mouth sores. She further documents that both at home and since being admitted to Good Health Hospital, Adam is consuming less than his current energy needs. Connie calculates Adam’s estimated calorie and protein needs based on his medical condition.

Document Nutrition Diagnoses/Problems

Connie documents Adam’s assessment data which justifies the following nutrition diagnoses (nutrition problems): •Inadequate energy intake related to decreased appetite as evidenced by energy consumption less than assessed needs and unintended weight loss of 5 pounds in one week. •Chewing difficulty related to mouth pain from oral sores as evidenced by oral side effects of chemotherapy  

Document Nutrition Interventions & Recommendations

Connie recommends a nutrition intervention of a commercial beverage medical food supplement between meals (three times per day) for nutrition supplementation and a Mechanical Soft diet to address chewing difficulty. She enters the recommendations for a commercial beverage medical food supplement item available per the hospital’s formulary standards and for the diet change into the EHR and flags it for Rachel Resident to review, approve and countersign as per the hospital’s protocol.   

Document Nutrition Care Plan – Monitoring & Evaluation Criteria

These recommended diet prescription, nutrition interventions and nutrition care plan goals are documented along with monitoring and evaluation goals for the patient of:

1) Consume > 75% assessed energy needs in 3 days, and

2) Will not lose additional weight in the next two weeks.
