When to use this form
Use this template when you need to build or update a personalized nutrition plan at intake, after a hospital stay, or when weight, appetite, or labs change. It helps you and your team capture goals, risks, and next steps in one place. Create clear meal, hydration, and supplement actions, set follow-ups, and share tasks with family. For families exploring services, the Home care inquiry form helps you collect contacts and preferences before planning. If the person receives palliative services, align choices with the Hospice care checklist form. For home-based cases, pair this with a Home health assessment form to address mobility, swallowing, or shopping barriers that affect eating. The outcome: safer intake and realistic goals you can track.
Must Ask Nutrition Care Plan Questions
- What are your top nutrition and health goals for the next 30-90 days?
Clear goals make the plan measurable and focused. A timeline helps you set follow-ups and judge progress.
- Which medical conditions, symptoms, or allergies affect what you can eat or drink?
This protects safety and ensures the plan fits your diagnosis and symptoms. It guides textures, fluids, and nutrient targets.
- What is your current weight, usual weight, and any change in the last 1-3 months?
Weight trends show risk of malnutrition or fluid retention. They inform calorie and protein needs.
- How do mobility, chewing, or swallowing issues affect shopping, cooking, and meals?
Functional limits shape realistic meal plans and textures. Knowing barriers lets you add aids, caregiver help, or delivery options.
- What foods, textures, and cultural or religious preferences should we honor?
Preference-based plans improve intake and respect values. This increases comfort and adherence.
