Signs of Malnutrition
Many times, malnutrition does not become evident until a patient is being treated at the hospital for a condition caused or exacerbated by malnutrition. If you sense that your loved one is not being fed or is not having his or her nutritional needs met, there are a number of symptoms you can look for, including:
- Weakness and fatigue
- Abnormal skin color
- Disorientation or other alterations of mental state
- Increased sickness caused by a weakened immune system
As is the case with most nursing home issues, the primary cause of malnutrition is negligence or cruel indifference on behalf of the nursing home and its staff. When clients are given the proper amount of personal attention, fed in a timely manner, and medically evaluated, malnutrition will not occur.
