Abstract

The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition defines standards as benchmarks representing a range of performance of competent care that should be provided to assure safe and efficacious nutrition care in most circumstances. Standards are documents that define the structure needed to provide competent care. These Standards for Nutrition Support for Adult Hospitalized Patients are an update of the 2010 Standards. These practice-based standards are intended for use by healthcare professionals charged with the care of adult hospitalized patients receiving nutrition support therapy in any hospital with or without a formal nutrition support service or team. These Standards address professional responsibilities as they relate to patient assessment, diagnosis, education, care plan development, implementation, clinical monitoring, evaluation, and professional issues around nutrition support.
