B.8.1. Purpose and Instructions for the Nestle MNA (Mini Nutritional Assessment)
Purpose
The MNA is a screening and assessment tool that identifies individuals age 65 and above who are
malnourished or at risk of malnutrition.
By identifying individuals who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition allows for earlier intervention
to provide adequate nutritional support.
Instructions
The screening tool consists of 6 questions.
• Complete the screen by filling in the boxes with the appropriate numbers.
• Total the numbers for the screening score.
• The screening score (max 14 points):
o A score of 12‐ 14 points = normal nutritional status
o 8‐11 points = at risk of malnutrition
o 0 ‐7 points = malnourished
