(Daytime Session) Strength Starts With a Fork:
Nutrition Screening for Older Adults

Description

You asked, we listened! We’re excited to offer a daytime webinar session to support different schedules. This webinar is offered twice (evening and daytime); please register for only one that fits your schedule. You will only receive CE for one.

Malnutrition in older adults is common, underrecognized, and deeply consequential for strength, mobility, recovery, and overall quality of life. This webinar cuts through the noise with a clear, evidence‑based look at why malnutrition develops, how it presents across community and clinical settings, and what clinicians can do to identify it early. Participants will learn how to use validated screening and assessment tools, interpret nutrition‑related red flags, and translate findings into practical, interdisciplinary interventions that support healthier aging. Scope of practice guidelines will be highlighted.

Instructors

Learning Objectives

• Appraise the functional consequences of malnutrition in older adults by analyzing clinical indicators across community and rehabilitation settings
• Critique the efficacy of validated screening tools in distinguishing malnutrition risk from the physiological changes of normal aging
• Formulate evidence-based, individualized intervention strategies to mitigate malnutrition risk and improve clinical outcomes
• Justify clinical decision-making and intervention selection through the evaluation of complex malnutrition case studies
• Coordinate interprofessional referral patterns based on an assessment of scope of practice boundaries for nutritional care
