Nutrition Assessment Basics

In this episode of the RD Exam Ready Podcast, Zak Kaesberg breaks down nutrition assessment—the first step of the Nutrition Care Process and one of the most important concepts for the RD Exam. You'll learn the purpose of nutrition assessment, how to prioritize patients based on nutrition risk, and the key assessment domains that guide nutrition diagnosis and intervention.

This episode also reviews common nutrition screening tools, anthropometric measurements, biochemical data, nutrition-focused physical exams, comparative standards, and the role each plays in evaluating a patient's nutrition status. The episode wraps up with practice questions to help reinforce these essential assessment concepts.
