One popular strategy to improve the acceptance and efficacy of oral liquid supplements in long-term care is dispensing them during the medication pass, although few studies support its effectiveness. This study evaluated the impact of a supplement medication pass program on energy and nutrient consumption and weight in nursing home residents. Findings indicate that residents maintained their prestudy weight and had a 29% decrease in supplement energy intake, a 19% increase in food energy intake, and a 17% decrease in net energy intake (supplement plus food). Supplement and food protein intake remained stable. Over longer periods, this reduced energy consumption could lead to weight loss, so routine monitoring and periodic evaluations of resident intake (both food and supplement) are recommended to ensure residents are receiving and consuming adequate amounts of daily energy and nutrients. |
