Intended Outcomes of the Proposal Recommendations
It is expected that the proposal recommendations will help develop a comprehensive strategy for managing the process of hospitalized patients’ nutrition. As a result, the instances of undernourishment or any other malnutrition cases will hopefully be avoided. Furthermore, both patients and nurses will receive essential guidelines concerning proper nutrition.
Detailed instructions about the screening process will be provided to nurses. Moreover, patient education will require that nurses should engage the target population in the active acquisition of the relevant information about their disease or disorder and the dieting options that they have. Thus, patient independence can be promoted successfully.
Potential Unintended Outcomes/Consequences Resulting from Implementation of the Proposal Recommendations
The proposal recommendations will cause a rapid drop in the cases of malnutrition among inpatients. In addition, the level of proficiency in managing nutrition-related patients’ needs will rise exponentially among nurses. Finally, patients will also receive important information about the nutrition process and will develop the relevant skills.
Among the unintended consequences, the engagement in lifelong learning as the health management strategy may be observed among some of the patients. The identified outcome is quite unlikely, yet, with proper guidance provided by nurses, the target population may develop enthusiasm about gaining new information about health and health-related concern. Thus, a gradual improvement in the well-being of the community members can become a possibility. Furthermore, there is a chance that the patients will be able to determine malnutrition at its early stages and inform nurses about the problem. In addition, the enhancement of the communication process between nurses and patients may be triggered by the suggested changes to the nutrition strategy for hospital inpatients. As a result, a rise in the number of positive patient outcomes will possibly be observed.
