    The document discusses the STAMP screening tool, which is used to screen children up to three times to assess their risk of malnutrition. It involves scoring different factors such as diagnosis, nutritional intake, weight and height measurements to determine an overall risk.

    The STAMP screening tool is used to screen children to assess their risk of malnutrition. It involves scoring different factors across multiple screenings to monitor a child's nutritional status and determine an appropriate care plan.

    The STAMP screening process involves 5 steps - 1) assessing any nutritional implications of the child's diagnosis, 2) evaluating their nutritional intake, 3) measuring their weight and height against growth charts, 4) calculating an overall risk score by adding the scores from steps 1-3, and 5) determining a care plan based on the overall risk.
