Abstract/Description
This evidence-based project focuses on improving how nursing staff prioritize feeding assistance for residents in long-term care during mealtimes. Research shows that having clear staffing roles, education, and structured mealtime interventions can improve nutritional intake and decrease the risk of malnutrition. Implementing a consistent feeding assistance policy can help improve resident safety, satisfaction, and overall quality of care.
