Registered dietitians (RDs) are health care providers whose overall goal is to improve the nutritional health of clients, households, and communities by addressing the social, psychological, and environmental causes of nutrition problems. RDs are experts in food and nutrition. Planning an educational component on nutrition and health maintenance as part of the treatment and discharge plan falls under the RD's duties.
