Nutrition [NSRAS]

Definition

  • Neonatal nutrition is described as either very poor (=4), inadequate (=3), adequate (=2) or excellent (=1) in the Neonatal Skin Risk Assessment Scale (NSRAS). Very poor nutrition means infant is NPO (Nil per os) and on intravenous fluids. Inadequate nutrition indicates the neonate receives less than optimum amount of liquid diet for growth (formula/breast milk) and is supplemented with intravenous fluids. Adequate nutrition is when the infant is on tube feedings which meet nutritional needs for growth. Excellent nutrition indicates the neonate bottle/breastfeeds every meal which meets nutritional needs for growth. Only one numeric value is selected.
