Q&A Tuesday: Diet Therapy as the Primary Intervention

It's Q&A Tuesday where I answer a question from an RD2Be studying for the RD Exam and give answers to your very important questions.

The question this week comes down to using critical thinking skills to get to the answer. Critical Thinking will help you get through the exam AND it's also needed in any job as a Registered Dietitian (RD) or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). I know you have it in you.

In the question this week, it asks you to look at and evaluate four different medical conditions and determine which one is primarily dependent on diet modification. You can't memorize the answer to a question like this - you need to be able to break it down.

So that's exactly what I show you in this episode. You'll learn:

1) Four different diseases that all involve nutrition intervention but ONE condition can be managed solely by adjusting the diet.
2) How to look and analyze the question so you can get to the right answer
3) The importance of critical thinking when not only taking the RD Exam but also in your career as a Registered Dietitian.

If you feel you need a refresher on critical thinking and how to break down a complicated question, this episode is for you.
