Why should a dietitian conduct follow-up?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To assess the patient’s progress and the effectiveness of the diet plan
Follow-up allows the dietitian to review symptoms, weight or other relevant measures, dietary adherence, tolerance, laboratory information when available, and progress toward goals. The plan can then be continued, strengthened, or modified. Without reassessment, an unsuitable plan may continue. Follow-up is therefore an essential part of safe, patient-centred nutrition care.
