Why is participation of a dietitian in team meetings necessary?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To incorporate nutritional needs into the patient’s overall care plan
In a multidisciplinary meeting, the dietitian contributes information about nutritional status, dietary restrictions, tolerance, intake, and the therapeutic diet. Sharing this information helps doctors, nurses, and other professionals coordinate a safe and complete care plan. Prescribing medicine independently is outside this role, so option A is correct.
