Nutrition Care Process

The Nutrition Care Process (NCP) is a systematic approach used by nutrition professionals to assess and manage an individual's dietary needs. It involves four main steps: assessment (gathering information about a person's health and nutrition), diagnosis (identifying nutrition-related issues), intervention (planning and implementing strategies to address those issues), and monitoring/evaluation (tracking progress and making adjustments as needed). This structured method ensures personalized care, helping individuals achieve better health outcomes through tailored nutrition plans.
