title: Food in the balance: the nurse's role.
abstract: Good nutrition is fundamental to health and wellbeing, and nurses in all settings have an important role to play in this area of health promotion. In meeting this challenge nurses need a sound knowledge of nutrition, a recognition of the diverse factors which influence what people consume, and practical know-how about ways in which health dietary choices can be made easier for patients and clients.
