Answer to Question 1

For optimal results, dietitians should monitor the patient's progress and periodically evaluate the effectiveness of the nutrition care plan. Doing so usually involves comparing relevant outcome measures (such as the results of blood tests) with initial values and meeting with the patient to learn whether the plan has been satisfactory from the patient's point of view. Such follow-up efforts can reveal whether the care plan needs to be revised or updated, as is often the case when a person's medical condition or situation changes. (For example, after a woman delivers a baby, she may need instructions on how to feed her infant or, if she is breastfeeding, how to modify her diet to support lactation). If a follow-up meeting with a dietitian is not possible, a dietetic technician or other qualified health practitioner should provide additional guidance and education.
