Abstract
Older adults are at risk for malnutrition across the care continuum. Identification of malnourished older adults through nutrition screening and assessment can lead to prompt interventions to promote or maintain nutritional health and improve health outcomes. This chapter focuses on nutrition screening and nutrition assessment principles for older adults. In addition, nutrition screening regulations in the United States and the role of the interdisciplinary health care team are highlighted.
