The education was completed by 16 infusion nurses. Implementation of nutrition-focused education for outpatient oncology nurses increased nurse confidence and the use of nutrition resources. The most frequent nutrition complaint among patients was related to weight loss, with nearly half of nutrition consultations placed for that reason.
