Abstract
The hospital environment with its schedules, tests and procedures can adversely affect a patient's nutritional intake. Malnutrition has many negative repercussions not only for patients but also for the health service. Nurses have a key role in assessing patients' nutritional status and needs, providing a comfortable environment for eating and assistance at mealtimes.
