Malnutrition and dehydration can affect our whole body, causing illness and in extreme cases, death. The Nutrition Game provides an interesting and engaging approach to learning about nutrition and hydration. Two teams play against each other, discussing and answering questions designed to promote sharing ideas and best practice.
By developing short discussions around each question, players can reflect on the importance of hydration and nutrition. This helps them to make positive changes which improve patient care and raises awareness of the importance of supporting people to eat and drink well, particularly in care settings.
Topics covered include:
- Recognising malnutrition and dehydration
- Causes and consequences
- Providing healthy diets
- Assessments and screening
- Supporting people to eat and drink
