Abstract:
Nursing home nurses (licensed practice nurses and registered nurses) were assessed to determine nutrition training issues that have a potential impact or influence on protein-calorie malnutrition of residents. The results of a 50-item nutrition knowledge exam are reported and compared with what nurses report they are interested in knowing about nutrition. Nurses in nursing homes were found to lack sufficient nutrition knowledge to meet dietary needs of elderly residents.
