  • Title: Guidelines for the care of the patient on home nutrition support. An appendix.
    Author: Evans-Stoner N.
    Journal: Nurs Clin North Am; 1997 Dec; 32(4):769-75. PubMed ID: 9386224.
    Abstract:
    A significant portion of the health care provided in this country has been shifted to the home care environment. As a result, patients are discharged from the hospital earlier, with increased needs for highly skilled care. Much of the daily, hands-on care patients require, is provided by family members or care givers and supported by periodic visits from health care professionals. Home nutrition support is one of the many "technical" therapies that is routinely administered at home. To ensure the success of home nutrition support one must identify appropriate candidates, develop a nutritional plan of care agreeable to the patient/care giver, design a prescription appropriate for the home setting, and properly train the patient/care giver.
