This article is part of a series, Supporting Family Caregivers: No Longer Home Alone, published in collaboration with the AARP Public Policy Institute. Results of focus groups, conducted as part of the AARP Public Policy Institute's No Longer Home Alone video project, supported evidence that family caregivers aren't given the information they need to manage the complex care regimens of family members. This series of articles and accompanying videos aim to help nurses provide caregivers with the tools they need to manage their family member's health care at home.The articles in this new installment of the series provide simple and useful instructions that nurses should reinforce with family caregivers. This article is the second of two that explain the nutritional principles nurses should consider and reinforce with caregivers. Each article includes an informational tear sheet-Information for Family Caregivers-that contains links to the instructional videos. To use this series, nurses should read the article first, so they understand how best to help family caregivers, and then encourage caregivers to watch the videos and ask questions. For additional information, see Resources for Nurses.
这篇文章是与美国退休人员协会公共政策研究所合作出版的“支持家庭护理者：不再独自在家”系列文章的一部分。作为美国退休人员协会公共政策研究所“不再独自在家”视频项目的一部分进行的焦点小组的结果支持了这样的证据，即家庭护理人员没有获得他们管理家庭成员复杂护理方案所需的信息。本系列文章和配套视频旨在帮助护士为护理人员提供在家中管理其家庭成员医疗保健所需的工具。本系列的这一新部分中的文章提供了简单而有用的说明，护士应向家庭护理人员加以强调。本文是解释护士应向护理人员说明和强调的营养原则的两篇文章中的第二篇。每篇文章都包含一个信息传单——《家庭护理人员信息》，其中包含指向教学视频的链接。要使用本系列文章，护士应先阅读文章，以便他们了解如何最好地帮助家庭护理人员，然后鼓励护理人员观看视频并提出问题。如需更多信息，请参见护士资源。
