“Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Nutrition But Didn’t Ask”
The media bombards us with information about nutrition, so it seems that we all should know what to eat to be healthy. Yet, many of our patients are malnourished, which contributes to both the development of wounds and chronic non-healing wounds. This webinar will answer all of your unasked questions and review the latest guidelines for optimal nutrition intervention.
Seminar Objectives:
- Distinguish between sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity, starvation, and cachexia
- Understand how to assess a patient’s caloric, protein, and fluid needs and describe the role of each nutrient in healing
- Explain the rationale for supplemental amino acid therapy to aid wound healing
