title: [Guidelines for nutritional management in hospitals].
abstract: Malnutrition, frequently seen in hospital patients, is associated with poor prognosis. Therefore rules of good care imply its early recognition and adequate treatment. Directions about nutritional and dietetic support aim at assuring the proper intake of calories and of other nutrients which are present in food. Guidelines to be used when prescribing a suitable diet for the hospitalized patient are presented.
