| 1 | A Brief History of the Nutrition Care Process
Pam Charney PhD, RD, CNSD
Research on healthcare quality focuses not just on the outcomes of care, but
also on the processes used to deliver care (6). A care process can be described as
an agreed-upon framework for delivery of care. Care processes do not tell the
clinician what to do; rather they provide a structured method for evaluating
options in a given situation. It is hoped that use of a care process will facilitate
consistency in care. Health professions including nursing, occupational therapy,
and physical therapy have defined and adopted care processes for their professions
(7-9). More recently, a care process describing how to ensure that surgical
procedures are done safely has been published (10). Therefore, use of a care
process to guide how nutrition care is provided would seem to be a logical step
for the dietetics profession. |
| 7 | Case Study: Using the Nutrition Care Process and the Evidence
Analysis Library's Pediatric Weight Management Guidelines
Nancy Copperman, MS, RD
The following pediatric weight
management case study is designed
to integrate the Nutrition Care
Process (NCP) and the American
Dietetic Association (ADA) Pediatric
Weight Management Guidelines
(PWMG). The purpose of the case
study is to illustrate to practitioners
how the NCP can be used in clinical
practice with evidence-based guidelines.
The case will be divided into
the NCP sections with reference to
the appropriate PWMG. |

Liesje Nieman Carney
I want to thank all of the amazingly
talented and generous individuals
who contributed to this
issue. So many people were willing
to share their resources and
experiences that I wasn’t able to
include everything I would have
liked. I hope that this issue demystifies
the Nutrition Care Process for
you—it has for me! |

Sue Lipinski, MPH, RD
Glutaric Acidemia Type
1 (GA-1) is an inborn error of metabolism
caused by a defect in the activity of the
enzyme glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase,
which is required for metabolism of
lysine and tryptophan. Untreated, GA-1
can lead to seizures, vomiting, ataxia,
abnormal brain myelination, and metabolic
acidosis. GA-1 is treated with a
restricted protein diet, special metabolic
formula, and supplemental carnitine. |
