If a dietitian changes a plan against team instructions based only on personal opinion, what is the risk?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Patient safety may be affected
Clinical nutrition decisions should be coordinated with the treatment team and supported by the patient’s assessment and medical plan. An unsupported personal change may conflict with medicines, fluid restrictions, feeding orders, or treatment goals. Such inconsistency can cause confusion, delay recovery, or create a direct risk to patient safety.
