摘要：

Adequate nutritional intake is critical to preserving the health of older people. When an elderly person requires assistance with eating, the most social of all activities of daily living, the assessment of nutritional issues becomes multidimensional and interdisciplinary. Management strategies should involve the professional nurse's attention to dietary needs, as well as the social, cultural, and interactive components of mealtime. Additionally, special strategies need to be developed for people with cognitive and physical disabilities.
