Answers
define nutrition care process - ANS-a systematic approach to providing high quality
nutrition care...and includes 4 distinct [but] interrelated steps
what are the 4 steps in the NCP? - ANS-1.Nutrition Assessment
2.Nutrition Diagnosis
3.Nutrition Intervention
4.Nutrition Monitoring and Evaluation
why is standardized language used? - ANS-it facilitates more effective comparison of
nutrition assessment findings and patient nutrition problems across health care systems
is the NCP linear? - ANS-no it is a cycle
what is at the center of the NCP model? - ANS-the client-RD relationship
What does SOP stand for? - ANS-standards of practice
What does SOPP stand for? - ANS-Standards of Professional Performance
what environmental factors affect the client's ability to benefit from the RDN? - ANS-
practice settings, health care systems, social systems, economics
what are SOP and SOPP used for? - ANS-tools for RDNs to determine the education
and skills they need to progress through practice
define nutrition assessment - ANS-The RDN uses accurate and relevant data and
information to identify nutrition-related problems.
define nutrition diagnosis - ANS-The RDN identifies and labels specific nutrition
problem(s)/diagnosis(es) that the RDN is responsible for treating.
define nutrition intervention - ANS-The RDN identifies and implements appropriate,
person-centered interventions designed to address nutrition-related problems,
behaviors, risk factors, environmental conditions, or aspects of health status for an
individual, target group, or the community at large
define nutrition monitoring and evaluating - ANS-The RDN monitors and evaluates
indicators and outcomes data directly related to the nutrition diagnosis, patient goals
,and preferences, and intervention strategies to determine the progress made in
achieving desired results of nutrition care and whether planned interventions should be
continued or revised
Name the 6 SOPP for RDNs - ANS-1. quality in practice - The RDN provides quality
services using a systematic process with identified ethics, leadership, accountability,
and dedicated resources.
Standard 2: Competence and Accountability - The RDN demonstrates competence
in,and accepts accountability and responsibility for,ensuring safe, quality practices and
services.
Standard 3: Provision of Services - The RDN provides safe, quality service based on
customer expectations and needs, as well as the mission, vision, principles, and values
of the organization/business.
Standard 4: Application of Research - The RDN applies, participates in, and/or
generates research to enhance practice. Evidence-based practice incorporates the best
available research, evidence and information in the delivery of nutrition and dietetics
services
Standard 5: Communication and Application of Knowledge - The RDN effectively
applies knowledge and expertise in communications.
Standard 6: Utilization and Management of Resources - The RDN uses resources
effectively and efficiently.
What is the eNCPT? - ANS-the online standard language/ terminology we should be
using, not the process itself.
Being aware of the eNCPT as a component of using NCP in practice is an example of
nutrition informatics
define nutrition informatics - ANS-the effective retrieval, organization, storage, and
optimum use of information, data, and knowledge for food- and nutrition-related problem
solving and decision making.
What does ADIME stand for? - ANS-assessment, diagnosis, intervention, monitoring
and evaluation
ADIME note structure - Assessment - ANS-•Pertinent information provided by patient,
such as signs and symptoms
•Age, sex, gender,height, current weight and weight history
•Relevant medical diagnoses
,•Relevant past medical history and allergies
•Relevant lab values and anthropometrics
•Relevant medications and supplements
•Estimated energy requirement
•Estimated protein requirement
•Fluid requirements
•Current diet and any dietary restrictions being followed
ADIME note structure - Diagnosis - ANS-•PES statement
ADIME note structure - Intervention - ANS-•Nutrition prescription
•Treatment plan (nutrition therapy, education, acquisition of additional information)
ADIME note structure - monitoring and evaluation - ANS-•Plans and indicators for
evaluating outcomes of interventions listed above within certain timeframe
•Plans for follow-up
define Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and cognitive model - ANS-CBT refers to a
treatment approach that is rooted in the cognitive model
The cognitive model assumes that a person's "cognition plays a significant and primary
role in the development and maintenance of emotional and behavioral responses to life
situations"
The cognitive model represents how a person's thoughts and perceptions influence their
lived experiences, and how stress can distort perceptions and ultimately, lead to
distorted beliefs and behaviors
How do "feel, think, do" relate to one another in the CBT model? - ANS-what we think
affects how we feel and act, what we do affects how we think and feel, and what we feel
(emotionally and physically) affects how we think and act
Define Health Belief Model - ANS-developed in an effort to understand why individuals
don't adopt disease prevention strategies or undergo screening tests. This model is
focused on an individual's beliefs about their disease or condition because those beliefs
help predict health-related behaviors.
, What are the 6 constructs of the Health Belief Model? - ANS-perceived susceptibility,
perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, a cue to action, and self-
efficacy
describe the HBM construct - perceived susceptibility - ANS-An individual's perception
of their risk in acquiring a disease
describe the HBM construct - perceived severity - ANS-An individual's perception of
how serious the consequences of acquiring the disease would be. Medical
consequences include disability, death and social consequences include damaged
family life, work life,or personal relationships
describe the HBM construct - perceived benefits - ANS-An individual's perception of
how effective certain actions are to reduce the threat of an illness or to cure the illness
describe the HBM construct - perceived barriers - ANS-An individual's perception of the
costs associated with actions that will reduce the threat of an illness or cure it.
Examples include financial expenses, danger of side effects, unpleasantness, time
required, and convenience
describe the HBM construct - cue to action - ANS-Internal or external stimuli that prompt
an individual to implement a recommended health action. Internal stimuli examples
include chest pain, severe pain and external stimuli examples include illness of a family
member, reading an article about the illness
describe the HBM construct - self-efficacy - ANS-How confident the individual is in their
ability to perform the recommended health action
Define: Transtheoretical Model (TTM) - ANS-theoretical model of intentional health
behavior change that describes a sequence of cognitive (attitudes and intentions) and
behavioral steps people take in successful change. The model is composed of a core
concept known as Stages of Change, a series of independent variables, the Processes
of Change, and outcome measures including decision balance and self-efficacy. The
model has been used to guide development of effective interventions for a variety of
health behaviors
what are the 5 TTM stages of change? - ANS-precontemplation, contemplation,
preparation, action, maintenance
define the TTM stage and RDN action- precontemplation - ANS-Unaware that a
problem exists; no intention of changing behavior (unwilling or unable); not considering
change; potentially in denial
RDN actions-
Raise self-awareness through education and pointing out cognitive dissonance
