Abstract

The clinical dietitian on the palliative-care unit is actively involved in initiating, implementing, and evaluating individualized nutrition care plans for all patients. The dietitian can add to the comfort of the patient by facilitating the maintenance of good nutritional health for as long as possible. Undoubtedly, this involvement contributes to overall success of the program.
