Abstract

Changes affecting the health care system increasingly demand that dietetics professionals provide quality nutritional care. To meet this challenge, the American Dietetic Association (ADA) developed standards of professional practice for dietetics professionals. These standards provide dietetics professionals with a tool for evaluating and improving their professional services, as well as for guiding their careers.
