If a trainee dietitian gives a ready diet list without listening to full patient information, what is the main professional gap?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Lack of individualized diet assessment
A diet plan should be based on the patient’s diagnosis, symptoms, food history, allergies, preferences, culture, finances, medicines, and ability to follow instructions. Giving a standard list without first gathering this information shows that individualized assessment and listening have been neglected. Thus, option A identifies the main professional gap.
