Launched in 2018, Poshan Abhiyaan, or the National Nutrition Mission, is India's flagship program tackling malnutrition among children, pregnant women, and lactating mothers. The composition of Poshan is a multi-pronged strategy focused on technology, convergence, and community empowerment to ensure holistic nourishment.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), malnutrition affects an estimated 20% to 60% of long-term care residents, highlighting the critical nature of nutritional monitoring in patient care. When a patient fails to meet their nutritional goals, the nurse plays a pivotal role in re-evaluating the plan of care and implementing new strategies for improvement.
