What to Focus On

  • Clinical Nutrition is nutrition during illness.
  • It is also called Medical Nutrition Therapy.
  • The patient is the primary focus of nutritional care.
  • The dietitian translates nutrition science into dietary advice.
  • The dietitian assesses nutritional status and plans nutrition care.
  • The physician is ultimately responsible for the patient's medical needs.
  • Diet therapy supports recovery.
  • Diet changes may control disease conditions.
  • Deficiencies must be corrected if present.
