skills and attitude to enable them plan and execute nutrition care to
patients.
The prerequisite modules include; Human anatomy and physiology,
Principles of human nutrition, Introduction to Microbiology and
Communicable & non communicable diseases, nutrition assessment and
surveillance and basic critical reasoning and patient documentation skills.
The module takes 60 contact hours: 33 hours for theory and 27 hours for
practicals.
Learners undertaking this module will have both theory and practical
assessments. The formative assessment will be in the form of continuous
assessment tests, assignments, clinical and field assessments and
promotional/end of semester examination whereas summative
assessment will be done in form of final qualifying examination.
, Module competences
To enable the learner plan and execute nutrition care to patients
Module outcomes
1. Discuss the basic concepts of diet therapy
2. Discuss the need and role of special diet in management of diseases
and disorders
3. Apply diet planning in management of diseases and disorders
4. Discuss drug and nutrient interaction in management of diseases and
disorders
5. Prepare therapeutic diets for various conditions
Module learning strategies
Lectures, individual and group assignments and presentation, practicals,
clinical exposure, demonstrations, case studies, role playing etc.
