Inpatient/Clinical Dietitians
Clinical RDNs monitor, assess, and optimize a patient’s nutrition status based on their current medical condition and/or nutrition adequacy.
They converse with physicians and other healthcare professionals to coordinate medical and nutritional needs and make recommendations for tube feedings, intravenous feedings, and/or dietary supplements.
Clinical dietitians teach patients how to make nutritionally sound food choices to speed the recovery process, prevent disease, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
