anthropometric measures.
-Anthropometric measures evaluate growth, development, and body composition.
-Examples include height, weight, waist circumference, derived weight measures (e.g., body
mass index, waist-to-hip ratio), and triceps skinfold thickness.
Which of the following is the most accurate and easy to implement nutritional assessment
method?

-Direct observation
Food diary

,-The food diary is most complete and accurate if the nurse teaches the individual to record

-The 24-hour recall is the easiest and most popular method but contains several sources for

truth telling, and underreporting of snacks, sauces, and condiments.
-The food frequency questionnaire does not always quantify amount of intake and relies on
the individual’s memory.
-Direct observation is the most accurate method; however, it is difficult to implement and
usually is only done when the nurse is concerned about parent feeding patterns or eating
issues leading to malnutrition for a patient who is hospitalized (i.e., patient with anorexia
nervosa).

-Slowed GI motility
-Increased saliva production
-Increased muscle mass
-Poor dentition
-Decreased visual acuity
-Slowed GI motility

-The normal physiologic changes in aging adults that affect nutritional status include poor
dentition, decreased visual acuity, decreased saliva production, slowed GI motility, decreased
GI absorption, and diminished olfactory and taste sensitivity.
-Aging adults experience decreased saliva production.
