For å møte utfordringane med underernæring hos eldre pasientar med heimesjukepleie er det nødvendig å kartlegge ernæringsstatus. 

Many medical records lacked information about nutritional risk, and few patients at nutritional risk were followed up.

It is challenging for community nurses to screen their patients’ nutritional risk because the guidelines fail to take sufficient account of the domestic arena. 

Studien indikerer usikkerhet i registrering av ernæringsdata som sykepleiere og studenter på slutten av sin treårige sykepleierutdanning, samlet inn ved hjelp av screeninginstrumentene NRS 2002 og SGA.

The recently developed app APPETITT can inspire to a varied diet and increase the attention to dietary habits for home-dwelling elderly.

In order to meet the challenges associated with undernutrition in elderly patients who receive home-based nursing care, it is necessary to screen for nutritional status.
