Description

The media bombards us with information about nutrition so it seems that we all should know what to eat to be healthy. Yet many of our patients are malnourished, which contributes to both the development of wounds and chronic non-healing wounds. This recording will review the etiology-based definition of malnutrition as well as body composition issues such as sarcopenic obesity, that may mask malnutrition. The attendee will also learn how to assess a patient’s caloric, protein and fluid needs and describe the role of each macronutrient in healing. Micronutrients relevant to the healing process will be reviewed as well as the latest research on collagen dipeptides.
