The role of the dietitian in palliative care
Keyword(s):
In palliative care, the aims of nutritional support change with an emphasis on quality of life and symptom relief as opposed to active nutritional therapy. The concept of palliative nutrition has evolved to include all aspects of the palliative trajectory, not just end of life care, with each stage of the trajectory having different nutritional goals. The role of the dietitian in palliative care is a topic that until recently remained relatively unexplored. This chapter introduces the concept of diet as a potential survivorship intervention as opposed to nourishment only and contextualizes the dietitian’s role in palliative care.
