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 dietitian.[54] The dietitian will review dietary habits and determine means of increasing energy and/or protein with or without supplementation. Also consider referral to a community exercise program, where available, as participation in a structured supervised program increases the odds of success.[105] Encourage active walking between training sessions. This will complement these interventions and benefit patients by allowing them to regain their autonomy.[106]
