- whether nutritional risk was recognised and acted upon.
- whether intake, weight, biochemical results and feeding tolerance were interpreted in context.
- whether dietetic referral or nutrition support was required.
- whether enteral or parenteral feeding complications affected outcome.
- what ongoing dietary intervention and support are reasonably required.
