Keywords:
Nursing care, Malnutrition, Critical patient, Critical care nurse, MonitoringAbstract
Malnutrition is a crucial problem in critical patients. Pathophysiology of critical illness affects abnormal digestion and absorption, including restriction of caring and treatment. Insufficient energy for the body needs lead to clinical negative outcomes such as an increase in longer hospital stays in critical care units, prolonged mechanical ventilation, increased infection rate and mortality rate, including economic and social burden. Critical care nurses play an important role in assessing and monitoring malnutrition continuously. Assessment of signs and symptoms of malnutrition and monitoring the outcome of malnutrition will reduce complications and provide early treatment. This can also improve patient’s recovery resulting in increased better clinical outcomes and reduce consequent of social problems.
The aim of this article is to reveal that critical care nurses should aware and focus on monitoring of patients’ nutritional problems continuously. Critical care nurses should provide care for critical patients to meet the nutritional needs during acute illness. They should also early access malnutrition and monitor nutritional status as well as prevent malnutrition in critical patients. Additionally, critical care nurses should effectively coordinate with multidisciplinary care team to improve quality of care and manage nutrition therapy for critical patients continuously.
