The aim of this guidance is to support patients who are unable to maintain their nutritional status by eating and drinking orally. The purpose of these guidelines is to: • Give clear, defined, evidence-based guidelines for all employees within DCHS working in the community setting, to support patients with maintaining adequate nutrition and hydration status. • Ensure that the defined minimum requirements for documentation are clearly laid down to enable clinicians to accurately monitor and assess the nutrition and hydration status of the patient in a timely manner. • Ensure that all relevant employees are given the necessary information, instruction and training to provide them with the knowledge and skills to monitor and maintain the nutrition and hydration status of the patient and to reduce the risk of complications.
