| [ Summary ] | Investigation of nutritional intake may be used to evaluate patients' overall states of nutrition and develop related educational programs. The methods of evaluating nutritional intake include the meal recording method, the 24 hour recollection method, the photo observation method, the ingestion frequency method, etc. However, methods of evaluating patient nutrition remain somewhat inaccurate. The inclusion of subjective evaluations has recently come into common clinical use. | |
