FACS 460 - Nutrition Care Process

3 hours
Students will be introduced to this systematic method that dietetics and nutrition professionals use to provide nutrition care and is visually summarized by the Nutrition Care Process Model. Students will use the nutrition care process to provide a framework to learn to customize patient/client centered care, taking into account the patient/client’s needs and values and using the best evidence available to make decisions. Use of the NCP can lead to more efficient and effective care, nutrition research, and greater recognition of the role of dietetics and nutrition professionals in all settings. UG
