Nutrition Care Process (Toolkits)
Last Updated: 2022-04-10
Target Group: All Adults
Goals
Goals for an individual with diverticular disease should be determined in conjunction with the client and should be specific to the individual. Goals that are set should be time-sensitive, easily measured, and achievable by the nutrition intervention. Action and outcome-related goals, along with both short-term and long-term goals, may be set. Examples include:
- maintain or restore nutritional balance
- adequate nutritional intake, including up to 45 g of dietary fibre/day, to manage GI symptoms
