What should dietitians do in relation to their practice standards?

Dietitians should actively monitor their practice according to established practice standards to ensure that they deliver safe, effective, and ethical care to their clients. Practice standards provide a framework that guides dietitians in their professional behavior, clinical decision-making, and the delivery of nutrition care. By adhering to these standards, dietitians can maintain professional integrity, support quality assurance, and demonstrate accountability in their practices.

Monitoring practice according to these standards enables dietitians to reflect on their actions, identify areas for improvement, and enhance their competency. Engaging with practice standards in this way helps build trust with clients, fosters professionalism, and ensures alignment with the expectations of regulatory bodies and the nutrition care community.
