B. ROLE OF NURSE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NUTRITION PROGRAMS

To keep the body working normally, nutrition is crucial. For those who are ill,
nutrition aids in quick recovery and healing. Nurses have important roles to play in both
hospital and community settings and at various levels of medical treatment. Broadly
speaking, there are several responsibilities that nurses play at various levels. The task of
ensuring that patients' and clients' nutritional needs are addressed falls under the
purview of nurses. To promote healthy eating and hence better health outcomes, it is
crucial to offer nutrition assessment and appropriate nutrition guidance.

In nutrition programs, they focus more on the prevention aspect of health.

Nursing professionals employ the health education component as a tool in every
environment and wherever it is required, including hospitals, clinics, communities,
schools, etc. Health education is a highly effective component in obtaining an adequate
healthy existence. People are taught about balanced, healthful diets by nurses. They
also provide information on the guidelines needed by various age and gender
categories. They receive education on the best and easiest ways to maintain a healthy
diet and manage simple nutrients from foods that are readily available in their area.
Nurses do not only provide health education to people in the community but they also
handle these programs ensuring that everyone is given the nutrition program they need.
But mostly, nurses are more on providing health education to people because as I have
said these nutritional programs are on the prevention aspect of health. Prevention can
be done when people are taught well and have understood well how important it is to
join various nutrition programs for their child or even for themselves.
