Meals¶

The Meals screen is the meal round on the phone. Whoever serves the meal opens it with the meal card of the shift screen, or from a resident’s sheet. It shows the couverts the kitchen laid when it confirmed its menu: the phone lays nothing.

Choosing the meal and the place¶

• The meal buttons at the top — breakfast, lunch, dinner… with their hour. The dishes of the menu show under them, with the alternatives.

• Dining room, Room or All — where the couverts are served.

A line counts the couverts to serve, served and absent, and, after the meal, the amounts still to note.

When the kitchen has not confirmed the meal, or has cancelled it, the screen says so.

What a couvert shows¶

The couverts are in three lists: To serve, Served and Absent. Each line shows the resident, and what to know at the table:

• the texture, highlighted when it is modified;

• the diets, the help needed at the table, the medical devices, the food allergies;

• the Nutrition cares of the period, with who is assigned — meal assistance, intake monitoring — ticked when done;

• what the resident does not like;

• the dietary warning — in red when it is critical;

• the resident’s own dishes, when they differ from the menu.

Serving¶

• Swipe right — Served.

• Swipe left — Refused: choose why, add a word, tap Refused.

• Press and hold — every choice:

  • In room or Dining room — moves the couvert;

  • Later — stays to serve, not late: fasting for an exam, not up yet;

  • Absent — absent from the table;

  • Change dish — the dishes of the menu with no warning for this resident;

  • Note the amount — see below;

  • Undo — takes the last act back.

A plate with a critical dietary warning cannot be served as it is: change the dish first.

Serve all marks every couvert still to serve as served, after a confirmation. The absent, the residents away, the plates put off to later and the plates with a critical dietary warning are left out.

Noting the amount eaten¶

After the meal, tap Note the amount on a served couvert.

1. Under Amount eaten, tap 0, ¼, ½, ¾ or 1.

2. Under A drink with it, choose the kind of drink and the amount (100, 150, 200 or 250 ml).

3. Add a word if useful.

4. Tap Save.

For a resident followed for nutrition, the button is highlighted and the line shows To note until the amount is noted. Noting it closes the resident’s intake monitoring care of the period: the sheet says which care it closes.

Refused? give the reason switches to the refusal.

The resident’s meal sheet¶

The Meals button of a resident’s sheet opens what the resident ate:

• Today — the day’s plates, with their outcome, the hour, who served them and the amount eaten; Open the meal round goes to the round;

• Intake of the day — energy, protein and fluids against the targets, the coverage of the last three days, and Today’s drinks;

• At the table — texture, diets, food allergies, help needed, what the resident likes and does not like.

A banner says when the resident is below the targets these last days, or is followed for nutrition: tell the nurse.
