RESUMO

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides access to healthy food for low-income individuals and households. Food security, however, does not necessarily achieve higher diet quality for beneficiaries. Diet quality is an important consideration for the development and management of chronic illness, a significant public health concern. In this study, we review incentives and disincentives implemented to improve the diet quality, the evidence on SNAP including benefits, challenges, and the politics of funding. New interventions and policies will be needed in order to improve the overall diet quality of SNAP households. SNAP should align with nutritional science to meet national public health goals. Nurses are trusted advocates for patients and the public and are uniquely positioned to aid in this effort. Informed by evidence, nurses willing to leverage their influence, can lead this needed change.

RESUMO

Hospital malnutrition occurs in a majority of surgical patients and contributes to delayed wound healing, a longer recovery time, increased morbidity and mortality rates, an increased infection rate, and decreased stamina. With the advances in the past 10 years in safe delivery of amino acids and fat emulsions peripherally, and with the ability to deliver hyperalimentation by a central venous line, patients can be fed enough calories, fat, and protein to prevent malnutrition or to treat it. Recognition and prevention of hospital malnutrition is a mandatory aspect of delivering good patient care. Offering advanced technology, skilled surgeons, and advanced-practice nursing care to the patient, without acknowledging his basic needs, reminds one of the ironic saying, "The operation was a success, but the patient died." The nurse has a special role in assessment and treatment of malnutrition in the hospitalized patient.
