Abstract
Older adults are vulnerable to alterations in nutrition and hydration during critical illness.
The best way to address nutrition and hydration challenges during critical illness is through a unified approach with a multidisciplinary team consisting of physicians, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, physical therapists, speech therapists, and respiratory therapists, as well as the patient and family caregiver.
Nurses often provide one-to-one care for critically ill older adults and are in a unique position to promote nutrition and to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of therapy.
As the science and practice of gerontologic nursing expands to meet the needs of the increasing critically ill aging population, further research is needed to address nutrition and hydration in critically ill older adults.
