    Nutrition Intervention
    • A nutrition intervention is a purposely
    planned action designed with the intent of
    changing a nutrition-related behavior, risk
    factor, environmental condition, or aspect of
    health status to resolve or improve the
    identified nutrition diagnosis or nutrition
    problem.
    Nutrition intervention phases
    • Nutrition intervention is accomplished in two
    distinct and interrelated steps:
    • Planning
    • Implementing
    Planning

    • Planning the nutrition intervention involves:


    • Prioritizing nutrition interventions based on
    urgency, impact, and available resources.
    • Collaborating with the client to identify goals
    of the intervention for each diagnosis.
    • Writing a nutrition prescription based:
    • On a client’s customized recommended
    dietary intake of energy and/or selected food
    or nutrients based on current reference
    standards and dietary guidelines.
    • A client’s health condition and nutrition
    diagnosis.
    • Selecting specific nutrition intervention
    strategies that are focused on the etiology of
    the problem and that are known to be
    effective based on best current knowledge
    and evidence.
    • Defining the time and frequency of care,
    including intensity, duration, and follow-up.
    Implementation
    • Collaborating with the client to carry out the
    plan of care.
    • Communicating the nutrition care plan.
    • Modifying the plan of care as needed.
    • Following up and verifying that the plan is
    being implemented.

    condition or response to intervention.

    existing condition and promote health.

    • Consultation with, referral to, or coordination
    of nutrition care with other health care
    providers, institutions, or agencies that can
    assist in treating or managing nutrition-related
    problems.
