Diets: More than Just Weight Loss
Hours: 0.50
According to the Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics (2021), therapeutic diets are meal plans that control certain foods or nutrients as part of an overall care plan related to a medical condition. Therapeutic diets may change over time, depending on a person’s condition, and can be difficult to understand. However, if given inappropriately, they have the potential for significant impact to a person’s quality of life.
The goal of this course is to provide direct care workers in post-acute care settings with an overview of therapeutic diets.
