In ADIME format, which component documents the nutrition-related interventions and plan of care?

• A. A = Assessment
• B. I = Intervention
• C. D = Diagnosis
• D. M = Monitoring and Evaluation

Answer: (B)

Intervention is the part that documents the nutrition actions to be taken and the plan of care. In this section, the dietitian translates the assessment findings and the nutrition diagnosis into concrete steps: the nutrition prescriptions or dietary modifications, education and counseling strategies, food/nutrition therapy, referrals, and coordination with other care team members. It also includes the specific, measurable goals and the timeline for achieving them, along with how progress will be monitored.

The other components serve different roles: the Assessment gathers data such as intake, labs, anthropometrics, and patient history; the Diagnosis states the nutrition problem using a PES statement; and Monitoring and Evaluation track progress, outcomes, and any adjustments to the plan.
