    intake; the adequacy of the patient's diet (balance of nutrients, amount of food consumed);

    the patient's use of supplements and nutritional; and availability of food.


    Medical facilitys staff members must be given training about various tasks involved in
    eating, patient's ability to chew foods, foods of various consistencies and how to motivate

    we can also use various nonpharmacologic strategies.
