Describe the screening and referral system in the nutrition care process model.
What will be an ideal response?
A screening and referral system identifies those individuals who would benefit from nutrition care provided by dietetics practitioners. Screening may be completed by nurses, by clients themselves, or through physician referral. These practitioners evaluate how effectively the screening process identifies the clients who require nutrition care. Screening parameters need to be tailored to the population and to the nutrition care services provided. A referral process may also ensure that clients are reliably connected with dietetics practitioners who will ultimately provide the nutrition care or medical nutrition therapy.
