Module 4: Nutrition Intervention - Overview, Terms and Use
This flowchart illustrates the interrelation between the first three steps of
the Nutrition Care Process. Data collected during nutrition assessment is
used as evidence in the signs and symptoms portion of the PES statement.
The etiology drives the selection of the nutrition intervention, and the
nutrition intervention is aimed at resolving or alleviating the etiology.
5 Two Phases of Nutrition Intervention There are two phases in the Nutrition Intervention step: The planning
phase, and the implementing phase. These phases are interrelated and
work to resolve the nutrition problem through altering or eliminating the
nutrition etiology.
6 Planning the Nutrition Intervention During the planning phase of the nutrition intervention, Registered Dietitian
Nutritionists:
➢ Collaborate with clients to identify goals of the intervention and
expected outcomes
➢ Prioritize the nutrition interventions based on client preference,
urgency, impact potential and available resources
➢ Write a Nutrition Prescription
➢ Determine a specific, science-based nutrition intervention strategy
➢ Define time and frequency of care, including intensity, duration,
and follow-up.
7 Implementing the Nutrition During the implementation phase of the nutrition intervention, Registered
Intervention Dietitian Nutritionists:
➢ Collaborate with the client to carry out the plan of care
➢ Individualize the plan
➢ Communicate the plan of nutrition care

9 Food And/Or Nutrient Delivery (ND) The first domain- Food And/Or Nutrient Delivery (ND) includes nutrition
intervention terms that describe the customized food and/or nutrient
approach for a client.
This slide shows an example of the hierarchy and organization for the Meals
and Snacks (ND-1) class of terms. The nutrition intervention listed,
Increased Protein Diet, is an example of a nutrition intervention from this
domain. Other classes of nutrition intervention terms within the food
and/or nutrient delivery domain include:
10 Nutrition Education (E) The next domain in Nutrition Intervention is Nutrition Education (E).
Nutrition Education interventions are used to address a new knowledge
requirement or knowledge deficit.
11 Nutrition Counseling (C) Nutrition Counseling (C) is the third nutrition intervention domain. Nutrition
Counseling interventions are used to create priorities, goals, and

13 Population Based Nutrition Action (P) The last domain in Nutrition Intervention is the Population Based Nutrition
Action (P) domain. This domain contains interventions designed to improve
the nutritional well-being of a population.
Other classes of terms in the Population Based Nutrition Action (P) domain
include Population Theoretical Frameworks, Population Settings, and
Population Sectors.
Now that all nutrition intervention domains have been reviewed, let’s
review an example. In this nutrition intervention example, the client goal is
to consume 1 oral nutrition supplement 6 out of 7 days per week.
Remember that the goal is part of the planning phase, and that goals should
be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-based (SMART).
The nutrition prescription listed provides specific calorie, protein, and fluid
recommendations to be obtained through a general, healthful diet.
15 Nutrition Intervention Documentation When documenting the nutrition intervention, ask yourself the following
questions:
✓ Are the goals identified and SMART (specific, measurable,
achievable, relevant, and time defined)?
✓ Do the goals consider client needs and values?
✓ Is the nutrition prescription written to help achieve client goals?
✓ Is the nutrition intervention directed at changing the etiology of the
PES statement?
16 Nutrition Intervention Summary In summary, Nutrition Intervention is customized to meet the unique needs
of the client.
