What do Nutrition Support Registered Nurses do?

Nutrition support registered nurses assess patients’ nutritional needs, manage enteral (tube) feedings and parenteral (IV) nutrition, create individualized nutrition plans, and educate patients and families on healthy eating and disease management. 

They collaborate with dietitians and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care for patients unable to eat normally due to illness, surgery, or chronic disease. 

What they do

Nutritional Assessments: Conducting detailed assessments to evaluate a patient’s overall nutritional status and identify specific dietary needs. 

Meal Planning: Designing personalized diet plans and nutrition goals tailored to each patient’s medical history and treatment objectives. 

Enteral & Parenteral Nutrition Management: Overseeing patients receiving tube feedings (enteral) or intravenous (parenteral) nutrition, monitoring their progress, and managing feeding tubes. 

Patient & Family Education: Teaching patients, families, and even other healthcare staff about healthy diets, meal planning, lifestyle changes, and how to manage feeding tubes. 

Laboratory Interpretation: Reviewing laboratory results, such as protein levels and electrolytes, to assess nutritional status and guide treatment. 

Collaboration: Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, including dietitians and physicians, to provide integrated and evidence-based care. 

Malnutrition Screening: Assisting with screening for malnutrition and referring at-risk patients to dietitians. 

Problem Resolution: Addressing any issues that arise with feeding tubes or nutrition support regimens. 

Environment

Disease & Lifestyle Management: Focus on helping patients manage chronic diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, through nutrition and lifestyle modifications.
