Why is knowledge of human physiology useful in clinical nutrition?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To understand how nutrients are used in the body
Physiology explains how body systems function, digest and absorb nutrients, regulate metabolism and respond to illness. A dietitian uses this foundation to relate a patient’s condition to nutrient needs, symptoms and suitable dietary changes. Without understanding body function, diet advice may be poorly targeted. Packaging, music and laundry are unrelated to clinical nutrition knowledge.
