Abstract

Malnutrition is a common pathology, often underdiagnosed, and is associated with numerous chronic diseases. Transversal clinical nutrition units (TCNU) are being implemented to improve the screening and management of malnutrition. The coordinating nurse plays a key role within a TCNU: organizing and coordinating personalized care pathways for malnourished patients, especially those with complex pathologies requiring multidisciplinary care. This article outlines the responsibilities of the coordinating nurse based on the experience of the TCNU established at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris).
