- Course objectives
- The aim of instruction in the course of Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics is to acquaint students of the Master study programme with various possibilities and ways of nutrition support in diseased individuals. The main content is formed by application of artificial clinical nutrition to hospitalised individuals in hospital conditions, but also to chronically ill persons in home conditions. The study comprises both the various ways of dietary intervention in disease, including peroral supplementation with nutrition preparations, and the procedure used in the indication and administration of both enteral and parenteral nutrition. An inseparable part of the instruction is represented by assessment of the nutritional state of individual patients with emphasis laid on detection of the malnutrition state. The students are capable of examining the nutritional state of individual patients and, basing on this, deciding on the respective suitable type of nutrition support.
