The importance of nutrition in the care of malnourished patients. Thaisy Correia Guerra Delgado

Abstract

Nutrition plays a very important role in the health-disease process. Therefore, Nutrology works to prevent patients from suffering from nutritional deficiencies, protecting them from complications resulting from metabolic imbalance. Malnutrition is a serious problem with several consequences. Therefore, nutritional therapy is very important to prevent it. However, this must be done appropriately, with strict monitoring, so that a possible Refeeding Syndrome does not harm the patient even more.
