From Hospital to Home: Bridging the Nutritional Gap
Presented by: Beth Quatrara DNP, APRN, CMSRN, ACNS-BC
Date and Time: May 15, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. CDT / 3:00 p.m. EDT
Malnutrition plagues many inpatients. Developing and implementing nutritional plans that span the gap from hospital to home are critical to promoting well-being upon discharge. Understanding nutrition as a social determinant of health and malnutrition as a risk factor for health care complications, nurses are poised to intervene and provide access to foods that foster health and healing.
