Answer to Question 1

The knowledge base is the dietitian's knowledge about nutrition and its role in health and disease. It includes information and theories related to communications, physical and biological sciences, research, food science, nutrition, management, informatics, and governance of dietetics practice.

Answer to Question 2

The Affordable Care Act will require more preventative services, such as counseling regarding obesity, weight loss, healthy diet, and exercise. It will also expect more services for educating adults about dietary practices to control hyperlipidemia and other known risk factors for cardiovascular and other chronic, diet-related diseases. Under the Affordable Care Act, nutrition services are expected to expand.
