title: Nutrition for physically frail older people. 2.
abstract: Nurses have an essential role to play in ensuring good patient nutrition, particularly in vulnerable groups. However, a lack of attention to the nutrition of frail older people has been identified in a range of settings. A best practice statement was developed to ensure high standards of practice in nutrition for frail older people. It covers five areas: assessment and care planning; promoting a nutritious diet; the care environment; the nurse's managerial role; education and training.
