- Conduct nutrition assessments to determine participant needs, preferences, and goals
- Actively participate in IDT meetings to develop participant care plans
- Deliver and document nutrition interventions in accordance with physician orders or as agreed upon in participant care plans, including but not limited to implementing specific diets and providing nutrition counseling to participants and their families
- Oversee menu planning and meal delivery programs to ensure that all safety and regulatory requirements are met, and that participants receive meals according to specified diets
