This webinar was presented live on May 25, 2023. The CPE associated with this event expires on December 31, 2025.

Commonly observed in older adults, appetite loss has multifactorial etiologies such as chronic disease, recovery from major surgery and altered hormone secretions. To counter this, the use of appetite stimulant use is growing in both ambulatory and acute-care settings. This informative webinar addresses the appropriate indications and contraindications of common appetite stimulants and explains how RDNs can work with an interdisciplinary team to recommend appropriate interventions.

Planned in collaboration with the Dietitians in Nutrition Support (DNS) dietetic practice group. Free for DNS members.
