Nutritional care plays a critical role in patient recovery, and understanding its impact requires a biochemical perspective. This article proposes a nursing care intervention grounded in biochemical principles to improve patient outcomes. The intervention is informed by the Amalgamation of Marginal Gains (AMG) model, a performance improvement tool from sports and medicine, which focuses on identifying small, cumulative improvements to enhance overall outcomes. The present study evaluates current knowledge on nutritional care by reviewing relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that examine multimodal, multidisciplinary approaches integrating biochemical and nutritional strategies. This study presents a nursing care intervention that incorporates the AMG model, emphasizing incremental improvements to optimize nutritional outcomes. The present study systematically reviews RCTs that explore the efficacy of multimodal therapies in nutritional care. It evaluates the methodologies used in these trials, including selection criteria, intervention protocols, and outcome measures, to better understand their impact on patient recovery. The RCTs review indicates that multimodal nutritional interventions have a positive effect on food intake, nutritional status, fall incidence, health outcomes, physical performance, and quality of life in elderly patients. However, results were not consistently reliable across studies, underscoring the challenges inherent in dietary treatment. The findings also highlight the growing importance of collaborative nursing care, with nurses playing a key role in patient education, self-management, and coordination of care to ensure effective nutritional support. By integrating biochemical principles into nutritional care, nurses can provide more tailored and effective support for patients during recovery. Comprehensive assessments, collaborative care plans, patient education, continuous monitoring, and advocacy are essential for optimizing nutritional interventions and improving patient outcomes.
