Abstract
Abstract:Nutritionology, the science of nutrition and its impact on health, is a
critical field in nursing education and practice. Proper nutrition is essential for
preventing diseases, managing chronic conditions, and promoting overall well-being.
Nurses, as key healthcare providers, must possess a comprehensive understanding of
nutritionology to educate patients, plan care, and contribute to public health initiatives.
This article explores the importance of nutritionology in nursing, its integration into
nursing education, and its role in clinical and community health practice.
