Dietitian's Guide to Assessment and Documentation

The guide treats nutrition assessment as an investigation. It explains how to collect and analyse evidence, work out the real nutrition-related problem, understand the underlying cause and its effect on nutritional status, and then plan an intervention that improves health.

Written as a text for students, it shows how to formulate interview questions and how to document each stage of the assessment. The approach ties the evidence to the intervention, so the record makes sense to anyone who reads it.
