3. Clinical Care Sphere: Implements the Nutrition Care Process to ensure individual health goals are established, monitored and achieved while adhering to the Standards of Practice in Nutrition Care for RDNs (10.2).

Objective: With each patient, I will review and consider anthropometric measurements, biochemical tests results, clinical evaluation information, and nutrition pertinent history when formulating diagnoses and plans of care.
