Methods: Based on the results of tests MNA sample was composed of 56 seniors, which was subsequently confirmed by malnutrition and nutritional care was introduced. Once established nutritional care was assessed: -- the nutritional status of the MNA test, -- develop self-sufficiency (TVS test) and -- blood albumin. For evaluation was used Student's t-test. Statistical tests were evaluated at a significance level = 0,05. Results: Our study confirmed statistically significant differences after the introduction of nutritional care in the assessment of verbal communication (p = 0.024) and in personal hygiene (p = 0.038), sleep and rest (p = 0.013). For the other tests used have been demonstrated important significant relationships between individual measurements. Conclusion: The implemented standard nutritional care can become an important tool for quality of care in nutrition. Standardization of nutritional care has a positive contribution not only for the institution, which should be provided to guarantee the quality of care, but also for clients themselves. Guaranteed quality of care leads to maintaining or improving the health status and self-sufficiency, thereby improving the quality of life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
