The specific nutrition problem with its etiology and evidence is the definition of a nutrition diagnosis. This is not a nursing diagnosis, physician's diet order, or nutrition prescription. The note from the dietitian that includes a specific nutrition problem, its etiology, and evidence of the problem is known as a nutrition diagnosis. This is different from a nursing diagnosis, which is made by a nurse and describes a client's response to a health problem. The physician's diet order is a separate document that outlines specific dietary instructions for a client, and a nutrition prescription is a document that outlines specific recommendations for a client's nutritional care.
