Read the following guidelines to evaluate your (and your peer's PES Statements): • The Problem states the nutrition diagnosis. • The Etiology tells you what type of intervention is needed. • The Signs and Symptoms tell you what needs to be monitored and evaluated. As you write/evaluate the PES, remember: 1. Can the RDN resolve the problem? 2. Does the etiology make sense? Does it match the assessment data? 3. Can you monitor this patient on the basis of the stated signs and symptom
Answer all questions completely:
A PES statement (also known as a Nutrition Diagnosis Statement) is a structured language that outlines the specific nutrition problem that the dietitian is responsible for treating and addressing, as well as the cause(s) of the problem and the proof that the problem exists.
Except for individuals with "no nutrition diagnosis," all nutrition assessments require a PES statement.
The Nutrition Diagnosis (P) is the problem.
The aetiology (E) of the nutrition problem is the reason or causes of the problem (Nutrition Diagnosis)
The Evidence of the Nutrition Problem (Nutrition Diagnosis) (S)– the evidence that the nutrition problem (Nutrition Diagnosis) exists.
