Patient discussions
Inform patients about diet and exercise and what support is available to help them with these aspects. Consider referring the patient to a dietician.[54] The dietician will review dietary habits and determine means of increasing energy and/or protein with or without supplementation. Also consider referral to a community exercise programme, where available, as participation in a structured supervised programme increases the odds of success.[104] Encourage active walking between training sessions. This will complement these interventions and benefit patients by allowing them to regain their autonomy.[105]
