It is essential to have critical thinking skills when assessing any patient or client, especially the complicated ones. In the real world, it is rare to see an individual with only one particular problem or concern. Furthermore, these critical thinking skills will help to determine the best therapies for the patient or client as well as assist in determining what additional healthcare practitioners need to be involved so all of the patient’s concerns can be properly addressed.
Learning objectives for Interprofessional Approach to Assessment from a Nutritional Perspective include but are not limited to:
- Identify roles and responsibilities of interprofessional healthcare team members.
- Prioritize data to determine what is most pertinent to address for the specific scenario or case.
- Identify significance and deficiencies of various sets of data used to assess patients or clients.
- Evaluate nutritional requirements and determine appropriate nutrition therapy when multiple medical and surgical concerns are present.
