The Standards of Practice and Standards of Professional Performance for registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) include indicators that define three skill levels: competent, proficient, and expert.
- The Standards of Practice outline the four steps of the Nutrition Care Process: assessment, diagnosis, intervention, and evaluation/monitoring.
- The Standards of Professional Performance encompass six domains: Quality in Practice, Competence and Accountability, Provision of Services, Application of Research, Communication and Application of Knowledge, and Utilization and Management of Resources.
- Each standard includes specific indicators that provide measurable action statements for RDNs to enhance client and population nutrition and health.
- These tools are designed to help RDNs assess their current skills and identify areas for professional development.
