Menu Comparison

In comparison with current menu, the sample menu has a better nutritional value.

Proper amount of protein on sample menu will aid in faster recovery and strengthening of the patient.

Incorporating cultural aspect into the food choices will make food more appealing to the patient.

 

Barriers

Cultural Barrier

Hospital serving metropolitan area has high percentage of Caucasian inpatients and the menu provides acceptable food for them but not many other nationalities.

Houston has diverse ethnicity and each culture is accustomed to different food culture (vegetarian, Vegan, Halal, ect.).

Hospital has logistical problem to offer nutritional menu to all ethnic eating habits.

Summary

Influence to Nursing Practice

By being with the patients in a 24/7 context, the nurses play an important role in both identifying the need for nutritional treatment and implementing appropriate measures (Eide, et al., 2015)

A significant need for a greater focus on nutritional care so that undernourished elderly can be identified and treated properly.
