Monitoring
Monitoring is an integral part of the nutritional management process to document and control the effectiveness of the nutrition therapy of the patient. The nutritional therapy and status of the patient should be monitored by defined measurements and observations, such as recording of dietary intake, body weight and, where appropriate, laboratory parameters (e.g. blood parameters). This may lead to adaptations of the nutrition therapy plan during the natural history of the patient’s condition. These could include changes in medical condition, nutritional intake, nutritional status and/or tolerance to nutrition support.
