The Nutrition Care Process (NCP) was introduced in 2003 (Lacey and Pritchett, J Am Diet Assoc. 2003; 103: 10611071). Since then, dietitians have been encouraged to incorporate the NCP into their daily practice, yet it has not been totally adopted in all dialysis units (Dent and McDuffie, J Ren Nutr. 2011; 1: 205-207). The renal dietitian has the benefit of being able to follow-up with the dialysis patient on a monthly basis. During these monthly visits, as information unfolds, a unique relationship culminates with the dialysis patient. The NCP allows the dietitian to make precise nutrition diagnoses, which reflect the complexity of the renal dietitian%26apos;s involvement with the dialysis patient. The purpose of this article is to provide a brief description of the NCP as it relates to dialysis, offer a framework on how to begin using the NCP in the dialysis unit, and provide an example of a monthly nutrition note.
