the goal of detecting changes in a population's dietary or nutritional status. In the
nursing interventions classification, nutritional monitoring is defined as the collection
and analysis of patient data in order to prevent or minimize malnutrition.The goal of
nutrition monitoring and evaluation is to figure out how far the nutrition intervention
has progressed and whether the nutrition-related goals/expected outcomes have been
met. The goal is to bring more consistency to the dietetics profession's assessment of
nutrition intervention effectiveness.

2. List the main objectives of Nutrition Monitoring.

nutritional (for example, smoking).
