Nursing Diagnosis:
Imbalance nutrition: less
than body requirements
r/t insufficient nutrition
intake secondary to
decreased taste sensation

Since the client is unable to
eat using mechanical
mastication, she is required
to have oral feedings via
nasogastric tubing and
since she is a geriatric
client, her taste buds
become less effective. Due
to the existence of the NGT
tube an unfamiliar or
unpalatable food is
entering the clients
system. The content of the
food is not enough to
supply the metabolic needs
leading to decreased
strength and stamina.
Thus, intake of insufficient
nutrition leads to
imbalance nutrition less
than body requirements.
