The nurse who is completing a nutritional screening will ask the client:
1. "How do you feel?"
2. "What problems do you experience with chewing or swallowing?"
3. "Have you eaten today?"
4. "Where do you do your grocery shopping?"
2
Rationale: The purpose of a nutritional screening is to gather relevant data quickly to determine if a complete assessment should be done. Questions that ask about potential problem areas, like chewing or swallowing, elicit more relevant information than questions about the general state of health or well-being, grocery shopping, or the last meal eaten. That data would be gathered as part of a thorough assessment.
