Appropraite Nutrition Care Plan for Referred Patients

The more nurses use this method, the more accustomed they will be to it and they may be able to even reduce the time of the education session due to its increased effectiveness. The incorporation of the Teach-back method would not only enhance the client’s education, but also give the nurse an opportunity to assess any learning obstacles or health illiteracies. As a result, the patient could request a consultation with a nutritionist if more education or understanding is needed. The patient would have more one-on-one time to discuss the reasoning behind the diet and to ensure a basic understanding on how to successfully continue their diet in their daily life. The patient would also have the opportunity to express any concerns or fears concerning their new diet. By expressing their emotions concerning the subject, the patient can grow more comfortable as the education session goes on and can gain an understanding of the subject, especially when asked to reiterate the information to the nurse to indicate comprehension on the information. Communication between the patient and nurse can improve and be the basis of a healthy relationship that can be beneficial for both parties during the client’s hospital

Evidence based practice (EBP) in dietetics is combining research evidence which has been appraised for its validity, with clinical experience, to make an informed decision about the nutritional care plan which is put in place. Employing EBP within my practice is beneficial as it provides a strong rationale for the decisions I make in designing a nutritional care plan for a patient. However the negatives of following EBP exclusively is that it does not allow for adjustment of care plans for individuals. I believe that it is of utmost importance to consider the patient at the centre of my decision making and therefore it may not be possible to always adhere to EBP.

This assessment is very in depth and can be very helpful to many members of the patient’s health care team. The education that I would provide the patient with, would be that he needs to achieve and maintain a healthy weight (Treas & Wilkinson, 2014). I would give the patient food guides and standards to help him achieve his goal of a healthy weight. Food guides specify the number of servings needed daily for healthy meal choices, and standards are a reference for nutrient intake (Treas & Wilkinson, 2014, p. 898).
