A patient’s nutrition status can change their physical appearance and can be quantified through a nutrition-focused physical exam (NFPE).
A new clinical education program on performing a nutrition-focused exam via telehealth demonstrates best practices and offers solutions for overcoming challenges in an outpatient telehealth setting with adult patients. More information on an NFPE is available in this infographic.
Specific information on screening older patients for malnutrition is now available in this continuing medical education course.
