This involves collecting and analyzing information about a patient’s nutritional status, such as dietary intake, medical history, and physical examination. This information is used to identify nutrition-related problems and determine the patient’s nutrient needs.
Based on the information gathered during the assessment, the nutrition diagnosis stage involves identifying and labeling the nutrition-related problem(s) that the patient is experiencing. This step helps to clarify the nature and cause of the problem and guides the development of a personalized nutrition plan.
This stage involves developing and implementing a plan to address the patient’s nutrition-related problems. This may include providing nutrition education, recommending dietary changes, prescribing supplements or enteral/parenteral nutrition, and monitoring progress.
After the nutrition intervention is implemented, the patient’s progress is monitored and evaluated to determine the effectiveness of the nutrition care plan. Changes may be made to the plan as needed, based on the patient’s response and progress.
