Subject outline
This subject addresses the knowledge and skills that form the foundation for competent practice in dietetics. In this subject students are introduced to the Nutrition Care Process (also called the dietetic care process) and will begin to develop skills in nutrition assessment and nutrition diagnosis. The theory and practice of the key components of nutrition assessment will be covered, including anthropometry and body composition, dietary assessment and clinical and biochemical assessment. A range of tools and systems for nutrition assessment will be explored. Through case-based learning, students will apply and integrate their knowledge and skills to begin formulating nutrition diagnoses and setting goals aimed at addressing nutrition problems in health and disease. This subject provides key learning and skill development for individual dietetic case management (clinical dietetic practice) and progression to DTN4DPA (Dietetic Practice Theory and Case Management A) the following semester.
