Skin and Wound: Nutrition and Wound Healing
After completing this course, RNs, LPNs, RPNs, OTs, and PTs will be able to perform a nutritional screen, collaborate with RD and/or initiate appropriate referrals and support the client/patient/resident to follow the recommendations when admitted to a VIHA service for potential/actual wound care.
By the end of this course you will be able to identify:
- Tools to screen for malnutrition.
- Patients at risk for delayed healing due to nutritional deficiencies.
- Patients who would benefit from a referral to a Registered Dietitian
You will also be able to provide basic recommendations to patients with wounds.
