| 1 | The Nutrition Care Process and the Pediatric Dietitian: A Step Forward?
Pamela Charney PhD, RD, CNSD
The American Dietetic Association (ADA)
adopted the Nutrition Care Process (NCP) in
2003 in order to provide Registered Dietitians
(RDs) with a framework for critical thinking
and decision making in all practice settings.
The NCP is a four-step process that includes
nutrition assessment, nutrition diagnosis,
nutrition intervention, and nutrition monitoring
and evaluation. |

children. |
