Explain Nutrition diagnosis

Nutrition diagnosis is the identification and labelling that describes an actual occurrence, risk of, or potential for developing a nutrition problem that dietetics professionals are responsible for treating independently. At the end of the assessment step, data are clustered, analyzed and synthesized. This will reveal a nutrition diagnostic category from which to formulate a specific nutrition diagnostic statement. Analyzing the assessment data and naming the nutrition diagnosis provide a link to setting realistic and measurable expected outcome, selecting appropriate interventions, and tracking progress in attaining those expected outcomes.
