Dietitian

A home care dietitian works with the nursing staff, therapists, and physicians to establish a plan of care, implement that plan, and evaluate a patient’s response. Many conditions benefit from nutrition therapy by increasing recovery time and decreasing relapses. In the case of HTN or CHF, the effectiveness of medications is directly impacted by how well a patient follows a low sodium diet. Other conditions that benefit from nutrition therapy include, but are not limited to, diabetes, obesity, HTN, CHF, COPD, organ failure, wounds, cancer, anorexia, enteral nutrition, and GI disorders. Registered dietitians have studied the human body, all the disease processes that impact the body, and apply nutrition to influence positive outcomes and/or prevention of disease processes.
Below is a list of services that a registered dietitian provides:
- Medical Nutrition Intervention
- Modified Diet Plans
- Educate Patients on Nutritional Habits
- Individual Dietary Consultations
- Outpatient Education Programs
