abstract = {Purpose: To determine the applicability of the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) after nutritional counseling intervention in malnourished patients.

Methods: Prospective, randomized, open-label study in 106 hospital patients with malnutrition. The NOC indicators evaluated were 162202 and 180201.

Findings: The intervention group significantly increased both NOC indicator scores compared with the control group, these indicators significantly correlated with body mass index, Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool, and Barthel's Index.

Conclusion: The NOC indicators are sensitive to patients' changes in clinical practice, and correlate well with other indicators in this context.

Implications for nursing practice: The NOC can be used to assess malnourished patients in the clinical setting.},
