    SUBMIT a written answer to why this skill is important.
    Its important to document nutritional information and its considered as an important
    skill because if something is not documented that it is better considered that it didnt happen.
    Considering this there is increasing focus on documenting medical record chronologically as
    they document the residents nutritional care and is important for providing high quality care to
    residents. Documentation of nutritional information includes pertinent observations, findings and
    facts about the history of resident, including present and past relevant diagnosis and conditions,
    diet history including fluid and food intake, eating habits, outcomes and interventions, skin
    conditions, weight status, mental and physical functioning, lab values and nutrition related
    medications. Since healthcare is a complex phenomenon, so care plans are designed on the basis
    of past and present health stats that are documented in health records. For instance, all food
    allergies are recorded in health record, so when dietician will compile a diet plan for patient, they
    will incorporate a provision for avoiding such allergies.
    Its very important to document nutrition care in medical record in order to ensure high
    quality care. The documents basically records particular observations, findings and facts about a
    patients history, diagnoses, conditions, eating habits, interventions, treatments, skin conditions,
    weight status, mental and physical functioning, lab values, nutrition related medications, fluid
    and food intake. Its further important to document nutrition care so that doctor and medical
    practitioner will have complete knowledge about patients prior nutritional background and
    intervention. The nutrition care document of a patient verifies care given and are communicated
    to state audits and health care team (OMalley, Grossman, Cohen, Kemper & Pham, 2010).
