A nutritional assessment is conducted to assess nutritional status and includes determination of appropriateness of diet, adequacy of total food intake and the skills associated with eating, including chewing, sucking and swallowing disorders, food service practices, and monitoring and supervision of one's own nutritional status. A Registered Dietician shall provide ongoing evaluation and assessment when individual needs are identified and, at minimum, on a quarterly basis and more often if indicated. The Registered Dietician shall be notified for intervention as appropriate when a change in nutritional status, weight loss or weight gain is noted. The initial nutritional assessment shall be completed within 30 days after admission.
