Dewey and Dean (2007) report the findings of semi-structured interviews with 14 hospital and community nurses involved in the delivery of palliative care. They found that the nurses did not routinely assess nutritional status, but waited for the patient/carer to raise concern about weight loss before conducting informal assessment and considering nutritional management.

Abstract
Dewey and Dean (2007) report the findings of semi-structured interviews with 14 hospital and community nurses involved in the delivery of palliative care. They found that the nurses did not routinely assess nutritional status, but waited for the patient/carer to raise concern about weight loss before conducting informal assessment and considering nutritional management.
