What can unlicensed assistive personnel, such as dietary managers, dietary clerks, or dietary aides do in the area of nutrition care?
A. Persons who do not meet the criteria for licensure or exemption from licensure may not practice dietetics even under supervision. If properly trained, unlicensed assistive personnel may collect and record nutritional data to assist the dietitian with assessments and counseling. Evaluating or interpreting nutritional data is considered the practice of dietetics.
