Screening
Screening is the first step and essential for a successful nutritional management to detect those at risk of / or with nutritional problems. Screening should be performed within 24 hours of admission so that nutrition therapy can be defined and started quickly.
Nutritional screening should be done with a validated screening tool and followed up by appropriate action.
NRS 2002 — part of the gnp program — is the most validated screening tool for the clinic, based on 128 studies and recommended by “ESPEN — Guidelines for Nutrition Screening 2002”.1
It is a rapid and simple procedure, which can be done routinely by any healthcare professional in less than 5 minutes.
