Introduction: Malnutrition is one of the most common conditions seen in palliative care patients, which can affect the feeding route and decrease food intake. Nutritional counseling allows the detection of dietary changes, and referral to appropriate nutritional therapy. Aim: The purpose of this study was to analyze home nutritional therapy, and identify nutrient-related diagnoses in home palliative care patients. Materials and methods: It's a prospective, observational study involving patients assisted by the “Better at Home Program”, in Guarapuava - PR. Anamnesis was carried out to assess the patients, which included clinical diagnosis, physical examination, diet characterization and complications, SARC-F, and anthropometric assessment. Results: The study included 24 patients, with an average age of 70,2+15,0. The most frequent clinical diagnoses were cancer (45.83 percent) and neurological disease (45.83 percent). Low weight and a classification indicative of sarcopenia predominated among the patients, accounting for 54.17% and 87.55%, respectively. The most common feeding route was oral (45.8%), followed by nasoenteral feeding l (41.7%). The most commonly used formula was the hyperproteic. The majority of patients had sunken temples (70.8%), loss of Bichat’s fat pad (66.7%), and loss of muscle mass in the upper and lower limbs. The most frequent standardized nutrition diagnosis was NC-3.2 (unintentional weight loss), followed by 41.7% NI-1.2 (suboptimal energy intake). Conclusion: Most patients were elderly, bedridden, and had neurologic disease or cancer. Regarding the nutritional status, the majority were underweight and exhibited signs of malnutrition. Palliative care patients require nutritional therapy since they are at risk of malnutrition.
