Popis: This article serves as an overview for selecting appropriate nutrition education resources for patients, families, caregivers, and care providers. Registered Dietitians provide high-quality, evidence-based nutrition care and serve an integral role in multidisciplinary teams. However, all healthcare practitioners should be aware of the importance of providing meaningful nutrition education. Recommendations and considerations for health care practitioners providing individualized nutrition education or for providing disease and language-specific patient education materials are detailed. In addition, a brief review of insurance coverage for nutrition support services, as well as considerations to make when selecting a qualified nutrition provider for patient referrals is specified.
