In order to meet the challenges associated with undernutrition in elderly patients who receive home-based nursing care, it is necessary to screen for nutritional status.Sykepleien Forskning 2017 12(64708)(e-64708) DOI: 10.4220/Sykepleienf.2017.64708Background: Half of the elderly patients receiving home-based nursing care are undernourished or are in danger of this. National professional guidelines and Kosthandboka (nutrition manual) provide advice on how healthcare services can prevent and treat undernutrition. Screening for nutritional status must be performed regularly for all patients. Without good screening routines, it may be di cult to detect undernutrition. Inspection shows that the screening process varies among municipalities, despite the fact that the nurse has a clear responsibility to screen for nutritional status.Objective: To elicit good solutions that simplify and systemise the assessment of nutritional status.
