CSPI urges mandatory calorie and sodium information on menus
Every year, nutrition-related heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancers kill thousands of Canadians. In an effort to make Canadians healthier, by making them aware of what they eat, it has long been mandated that packaged foods must list calorie and sodium content, yet menus describing the $60 billion in foods sold annually at restaurants are exempt. The Centre for Science in the Public Interest says it’s time for that to change. Read their report, Writing on the Wall: Time to Put Nutrition Information on Restaurant Menus, and executive summary.

In partnership with the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA), RNAO is utilizing this already established approach and infrastructure as the foundation for the 2010-2011 national initiative.

Abuse of older adults is an issue of growing importance in Canada, as our population of seniors continues to grow. The National Seniors Council (2008) has defined the abuse of older adults as “Any action, or lack of action, by someone in a relationship of trust that results in harm or distress to an older person.” Nurses must be able to recognize, reveal and deal with the abuse of older adults.
