What kind of patient education materials do you incorporate in your program? Karen reports, “Since the program is new and transportation is an issue for our patients, all nutrition education is done on an individual basis during their clinic appointment or by phone. I begin both verbal and written nutrition education during the first nutrition assessment. Subjects include establishing a healthy weight, meal planning, starting a multivitamin and mineral, food/water safety and how to contact the Dietitian.” |
