Nutrition Assessment

Nutrition assessment is the cornerstone of nutrition care as it enables dietitians to collect, analyse and interpret data to diagnose nutrition problems, as well as to identify potential nutrition interventions. This module will provide students with an in-depth understanding and applied knowledge of the principles, methods and implications of nutritional assessment in the context of the Nutrition Care Process and Model (NCPM). The module will encompass the central domains of nutrition assessment: Anthropometric, Biochemical, Clinical and Dietary (ABCD). In addition to applied learning skills, this module is designed to also foster critical thinking skills pertaining to nutrition assessment.
