Introduction to Nutrition and Hydration
This Introduction to Nutrition and Hydration course starts by defining the various terms used when talking about nutrition and hydration in care environments. It looks at the basic elements of nutrition and eating a healthy balanced diet. It identifies the reasons why vulnerable people might suffer with dehydration. It goes on to provide you with the tools that you can use to identify people that are at risk of malnutrition and the steps you can take to deal with this condition.
If you are part of a team responsible for people’s nutrition and hydration, it’s important that you understand the terms that are being used, the nutritional requirements of the service users and the possible consequences of getting it wrong.
