Answer to Question 2

The central core of the nutrition care process model is the relationship between the patient and the dietetics professional. The outer ring identifies environmental factors that can have an impact on the ability of the client to receive and benefit from the interventions of nutrition care. The inner adjoining ring recognizes the strengths that dietetics practitioners bring to the nutrition care process.
