Patient care role: Nutrition is a vital part of your care. The better nourished you are, the better you tolerate treatment and the better you feel. As part of the multidisciplinary care team, the clinical dietitian provides nutritional guidance and develops a nutritional care plan. Oftentimes patients have difficulty meeting their nutritional needs prior to starting treatment. The dietitian can set a plan in place to start rebuilding nutritional health. It can also be difficult to maintain good nutrition during treatment because of side effects. The dietician will develop an individual nutritional plan that can help you maintain weight, energy and a healthy immune system.
