HE ACADEMY OF NUTRITION
and Dietetics (Academy), the
professionalassociationforcrede-
ntialed dietetics practitioners—
registered dietitians (RDs) and dietetic
technicians, registered (DTRs)—devel-
oped the scope of practice as a guide for
nutrition and dietetics practitioners.
The purpose of the Scope of Practice in
Nutrition and Dietetics document is
threefold:
1. Provide an overview of the com-
ponents that encompass the
Scope of Practice in Nutrition and
Dietetics; ie, Scope of Practice for
the Registered Dietitian1 and the
Scope of Practice for the Dietetic
Technician, Registered.2
2. Enable RDs and DTRs to be lead-
ers in providing safe, culturally

competent, quality food and nu-
trition services.
3. Introduce resources for RDs and
DTRs to direct scope of practice
decision making.
WHAT IS THE RATIONALE FOR
A SCOPE OF PRACTICE IN
NUTRITION AND DIETETICS?
Scope of Practice in Nutrition and Dietet-
ics encompasses the range of roles, activ-
ities, and regulations within which nutri-
tion and dietetics practitioners perform.
For credentialed practitioners, scope of
practice is typically established within
the practice act and interpreted and con-
trolled by the agency or board that regu-
lates the practice of the profession in a
given state. In today’s dynamic, diverse

health care environment, demand is in-
creasing for quality food and nutrition ser-
vices that are delivered in varied settings.

tialed dietetics practitioners to ask, “Is this
activity within my scope of practice?” The
ScopeofPracticeDecisionTool,whichisan
online, interactive tool, permits an RD or
DTR to answer a series of questions to de-
termine whether a particular activity is
withinhisorherscopeofpractice.Thetool
is designed to allow for an RD or DTR to
critically evaluate his or her knowledge,
skill, and demonstrated competence with
criteria resources.
TheScopeofPracticeinNutritionandDi-
etetics is built upon Academy of Nutrition
and Dietetics (Academy) resources:
• American Dietetic Association:
Scope of Dietetics Practice Frame-
work (2005)3;
• Academy of Nutrition and Di-
etetics (Academy)/Commission
on Dietetic Registration (CDR)
Code of Ethics4;
• Academy of Nutrition and Dietet-
ics: Standards of Practice in Nutri-
tion Care and Standards of Profes-
sional Performance for RDs5;
• Academy of Nutrition and Di-
etetics: Standards of Practice in
Nutrition Care and Standards
of Professional Performance for
DTRs6; and

In the 2005 Scope of Dietetics Prac-
tice Framework3 article, the Academy
utilized the concept of a framework to
describe the full range of roles, respon-
sibilities, and activities that creden-
tialed dietetic practitioners are edu-
cated and authorized to perform. The
Scope of Practice in Nutrition and Dietet-
ics embodies the framework compo-
nents and includes practice standards,
practice management materials, and
JOURNAL OF THE ACAD
other resources to assist credentialed di-
etetics practitioners in sound decision
making that supports quality practice in
traditional, emerging, and expanded
roles. In addition, the Scope of Practice in
Nutrition and Dietetics can serve as a re-
source for organizations seeking an au-
thoritative description of the elements of
competent, safe, and quality nutrition
and dietetics practice.
COMPETENCE IN PRACTICE
Competence is ”a principle of profes-
sional practice, identifying the ability of
the provider to administer safe and reli-
able services on a consistent basis.”8

Competence is integral to the delivery of
safe, quality health care, and other ser-
vices that credentialed dietetics practi-
tioners provide. In keeping with the Code
ofEthics,4 RDsandDTRscanonlypractice
in areas in which they are qualified and
have demonstrated competence in deliv-
ery of food and nutrition services that
achieve safe, ethical, and quality out-
comes. RDs and DTRs are expected to be
competent in, and accept accountability
and responsibility for, ensuring safety
and quality in the services they provide.
Competence to perform designated
activities within defined practice set-
tings is an essential element of the
scope of practice in nutrition and di-
etetics, as demonstrated by the follow-
Approved November 2012 by the Quality
Management Committee of the Academy
of Nutrition and Dietetics (Academy) and
the Academy House of Delegates. Sched-
uled review date: November 2017.

FROM THE ACADEMY
1. level of experience, skills, and
proficiency to perform desig-
nated activities varies among
individuals;
2. individual practitioners might
not be competent in all aspects
of the field;
3. practitioners are expected to
practice in the areas in which
they are competent; and
4. practitioners pursue additional
education and experience to ex-
pand their individual scope of
practice.3
Competent practitioners use up-to-
date knowledge and skills; make sound
decisions based on appropriate data;
communicate effectively with patients,
customers, and other professionals;
critically evaluate their own practice;
and improve their performance based
on self-awareness, applied practice,
continued education, and feedback
from others.9 Furthermore, according
to the Centers for Medicare and Medic-

aid Services’ Interpretive Guidelines for
Hospitals §482.28(a)(3), “Administra-
tive and technical personnel must be
competent in their assigned duties. This
competence is demonstrated through
education, experience and specialized
training appropriate to the task(s) as-
signed. Personnel files should include
documentation that the staff member(s)
is competent in their respective du-
ties.”10
RDs and DTRs and the RD/DTR team
operate within the directives of appli-
cable federal and state laws and regula-
tions, as well as policies and procedures
established by the organization in
which they are employed. To deter-
mine whether an activity is within the
scope of practice of the RD or DTR, the
practitioner critically evaluates his or
her knowledge, skill, and demonstrated
competence with criteria resources.
The Academy’s Scope of Practice Deci-
sion Tool, which is an online, interac-
tive tool, is specifically designed to as-
sist with this exercise in evaluation by
the individual practitioner and his or
her organization.
COMPONENTS OF SCOPE OF
PRACTICE IN NUTRITION AND
DIETETICS
The Figure displays the scope of prac-
tice components that RDs and DTRs uti-

lize in nutrition and dietetics. Compo-
S12 JOURNAL OF THE ACADEMY OF NUTRITI
nent descriptions and location of the
documents and resources are provided.
Components are Education Preparation
and Credentialing, Practice Standards,
Practice Management and Advance-
ment, and Practice Resources.
Education Preparation and
Credentialing
RD. The Commission on Dietetic Regis-
tration (CDR), the credentialing agency
for the Academy, defines the RD as
an individual who has met current min-
imum (Baccalaureate) academic re-
quirements with successful completion
of both specified didactic education and
supervised practice experiences through
programs accredited by the Accredita-
tion Council for Education in Nutrition
and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy
of Nutrition and Dietetics and who has
successfully completed the Registra-
tion Examination for Dietitians. To
maintain the RD credential, the RD
must comply with the CDR Professional
Development Portfolio recertification
requirements (accrue 75 units of ap-
proved continuing professional educa-
tion every 5 years).11
DTR. The Commission on Dietetic Regis-
tration(CDR)definestheDTRasanindivid-

ual who has met current minimum re-
quirements through one of three routes:
• successful completion of a mini-
mum of an Associate degree and
a Dietetic Technician Program as
accredited by the Accreditation
Council for Education in Nutri-
tion and Dietetics (ACEND) of the
Academy of Nutrition and Di-
etetics (Academy) that includes
450 hours of supervised practice
experience;
• successful completion of a mini-
mum of a Baccalaureate degree,
met current academic require-
ments (Didactic Program in Di-
etetics) as accredited by ACEND
of the Academy, successfully
completed a supervised practice
program under the auspices of a
Dietetic Technician Program as
accredited by ACEND; or
• completed a minimum of a Bacca-
laureate degree; successfully com-
pletedaDidacticPrograminDietet-
ics as accredited by ACEND.
In all three routes, the individual
must successfully complete the Regis-
ON AND DIETETICS

tration Examination for Dietetic Tech-
nicians. To maintain the DTR credential,
the DTR must comply with the CDR Pro-
fessional Development Portfolio recer-
tification requirements (accrue 50
hours of approved continuing profes-
sional education every 5 years).12,13
Practice Standards
Practice standards are core documents
of the Academy that lay the foundation
for the profession of nutrition and di-
etetics. Included are the following:
• Code of Ethics4;
• Scope of Practice for the RD1;
• Scope of Practice for the DTR2;
• Standards of Practice in Nutrition
Care and Standards of Profes-
sional Performance for RDs5; and
• Standards of Practice in Nutrition
Care and Standards of Profes-
sional Performance for DTRs.6
These resources, along with appli-
cable state and federal regulations,
state practice acts, and organizational
standards and program policies, serve
as guides for ensuring safe, person-
centered, culturally competent, qual-
ity nutrition and dietetics practice.
Additional uses can include any of the
following: evaluate performance, de-
velop position descriptions, contrib-

ute to hiring decisions, initiate regu-
latory reform, or determine whether a
specific activity aligns with a practi-
tioner’s individual scope of practice,
such as clinical privileges.
Practice Management and
Advancement
The Scope of Practice Decision Tool is a
resource that assists RDs and DTRs in
determining whether a new activity is
within their individual scope of prac-
tice and, if applicable, statutory scope
of practice. State and federal regula-
tions, standards of patient/client safety,
ethical practice, organizational policies
and procedures, and education, train-
ing, and competence of the practitioner
form the basis for determining whether
an activity falls within a practitioner’s
scope of practice. The tool can also aid
RDs and DTRs in expanding their prac-
tice in response to changing roles, new
opportunities, and demands for food
and nutrition services. The Scope of

The Academy’s Dietetics Career Devel-
opment Guide forms the cornerstone for
practice management and advancement
in nutrition and dietetics. The Guide uses
the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition14
to illustrate how a practitioner attains in-
creasing levels of knowledge and skill
throughout a career. Through life-long
learning and professional development,
practitioners acquire and develop skills
that lead to increased competence and
higher levels of practice. The Academy’s
website features a graphic representa-
tion and explanation of the guide (http://
www.eatright.org/futurepractice/).
Maintenance of the RD and DTR creden-
tialsrequiresdocumentationofcontinuing

education via the Professional Develop-
ment Portfolio. Participating in certificate
programs as well as acquiring advanced
degrees and certifications are additional
ways in which RDs and DTRs gain new
skillsandadvancetheirpractice.Anoption
available is CDR’s Board Certification Spe-
cialist for RDs in focus areas of practice in
recognition of an applicant’s documented
practice experience and successful com-
pletion of an examination.15
Practice Resources
The Academy’s practice resources aid
RDs and DTRs in providing safe, quality
food and nutrition services. A brief de-
scription of each resource category is
provided:
• The Definition of Terms is a cu-
mulative anthology of defini-
tions developed by the Academy.
The definitions are broad-based,
have implications for use across
the nutrition and dietetics pro-
fession, and are consistent with
the regulatory and legal needs of
the profession. The terms are a
resource for RDs, DTRs, and other
food and nutrition practitioners.
As a reference document, the
definitions serve as standardized
language and standardized ap-
plication in various practice set-
tings (http://www.eatright.org/
scope/).

• The Evidence Analysis Library is a
synthesis of nutritional research
on important dietetics practice
questions and is housed within an
accessible online library. The Evi-
S14 JOURNAL OF THE ACADEMY OF NUTRITI
dence Analysis Library is designed
to guide RDs and DTRs in making
evidence-based decisions16 (http://
www.adaevidencelibrary.com/).
• Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice
Guidelines and Toolkits aid RDs
in implementing evidence-based
practice in specific practice areas.
Evidence-based nutrition practice
guidelines are a series of guiding
statements and treatment algo-
rithms that are developed using a
systematic process for identifying,
analyzing, and synthesizing scien-
tific evidence. They are designed to
assist the RD and patient/client in
makingdecisionsaboutappropriate
nutrition care for specific disease
states or conditions in typical set-
tings. Evidence-based toolkits are a
set of companion documents that
arediseaseorconditionspecificand
detail how the practitioner applies
the evidence-based nutrition prac-
ticeguidelinesinpractice.Evidence-

based nutrition practice guidelines
and toolkits incorporate the Acade-
my’s Nutrition Care Process and
Model as the standard process for
patient/client care (http://www.
adaevidencelibrary.com/) and are
submittedtotheNationalGuideline
Clearinghouse.
• The National Guideline Clearing-
house is an initiative of the Agency
forHealthcareResearchandQuality
(http://www.ahrq.gov/),USDepart-
ment of Health and Human Ser-
vices. The National Guideline Clear-
inghouse was originally created by
the Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality in partnership with the
American Medical Association and
the American Association of Health
Plans (now America’s Health Insur-
ance Plans). The mission of the Na-
tional Guideline Clearinghouse is to
providephysiciansandotherhealth
professionals, health care providers,
health plans, integrated delivery
systems,andpurchaserswithanac-
cessible mechanism for obtaining
objective, detailed information to
further the dissemination, imple-
mentation, and use of clinical
practice guidelines (http://www.
guideline.gov/about/index.aspx).
• TheNutritionCareManualproducts
are therapeutic diet and profes-

sional practice manuals for RDs,
DTRs, and allied health profession-
ON AND DIETETICS
als that are housed on the Internet
through the Academy website.
Three versions are available: The
Adult Nutrition Care Manual, the Pe-
diatric Nutrition Care Manual, and
the Sports Nutrition Care Manual.
Manuals are based on the Nutrition
CareProcess(NCP) and provide on-
line access to evidence- and
knowledge-based nutrition infor-
mation for safe, quality practice.
All manuals are continuously up-
dated and purchased annually by
subscription.17
• The NCP is a systematic problem-
solving method that credentialed
dietetics practitioners use to think
critically and make decisions that
address practice-related prob-
lems. The NCP contains four dis-
tinct, inter-related steps: nutrition
assessment, nutrition diagnosis,
nutrition intervention, and nutri-
tion monitoring and evaluation.
The NCP is a standardized model
that guides RDs and DTRs in pro-
viding safe, quality nutrition care.7
• Standardized Language for the

NCP, published by the Academy as
the International Dietetics and
Nutrition Terminology (IDNT), in-
cludes commonly used terms by
credentialed dietetics practitio-
ners. The IDNT is one of many
standardized terminologies that
are used by health professions. A
primary function of the IDNT is to
describe, document, and record
dietetics practice and nutrition
care in the medical record. The
NCP and IDNT demonstrate the
unique functions of credentialed
dietetics practitioners, facilitate
clear and consistent descriptions
of the services they provide, and
supply the framework and data
terms for research that assists
with measurement of nutrition
practice and outcomes.18,19
• Nutrition Services Coverage Cod-
ing and Billing provides practice
management information and
best practices regarding coverage
and reimbursement for medical
nutrition therapy (MNT) services
(http://www.eatright.org/cover

ponent of comprehensive health
care. Individuals with a variety of
conditions and illnesses can im-
prove their health and quality of

life by receiving MNT. During an
MNT intervention, RDs counsel
clients on behavioral and life-
style changes that impact long-
term eating habits and health20
(http://www.eatright.org/cover
age/).
• Position Papers are germane to
the vision, mission, values, goals,
and strategies of the Academy. A
position paper consists of an ab-
stract, a position statement, and a
support paper. The position state-

ment is the Academy’s stance on
an issue, which is derived from
pertinent facts, data, and the re-
search literature. Although a posi-
tion paper is not a comprehensive
literature review of the topic, it
presents current facts, data, and
research. Position papers may
be developed using the Evidence
Analysis Process (http://www.
eatright.org/positions/).
• Practice Papers provide key op-
portunities for critical reasoning
and quality improvement in nutri-
tion and dietetics practice. De-
pending on the topic, practice pa-
pers may be developed using the
Evidence Analysis Process. Other
practice paper topics may include
peer-reviewed perspectives from
content experts, employers, and
alliance groups of the Academy
(http://www.eatright.org/members/
practicepapers/).
• Quality Management Resources are
designed to promote and support
RDs and DTRs in meeting or ex-
ceeding established practice and
professional standards in all em-
ployment settings. The resources
advance quality nutrition and di-
etetics practice, as it is para-
mount to our nation’s health care
and to the marketplace, with the

expectation of public reporting
at national, state, regional, and
organizational levels. Tools are
used to measure quality assur-
ance and performance improve-
ment of health care being pro-
vided, to report outcomes of food
and nutrition services, and to en-
sure the organization is account-
able to their patients/clients.
Clinical Quality Measures being
utilized in health care organi-
zations and practice settings
address one or more quality
elements: safety, effectiveness,
patient-centeredness, timeliness,
efficiency, and equity21 (http://
www.eatright.org/quality/).
SUMMARY
The goal of credentialed dietetics practi-
tioners (RDs and DTRs) is to provide safe,
culturally competent, quality care. Within
the flexible and broad boundaries of the
profession of nutrition and dietetics, RDs
and DTRs assume accountability and re-
sponsibility for safe, ethical, and compe-
tent practice that achieves desirable out-
comes.RDsandDTRsengageincontinuing
