Nutrition and dietetics practitioners around the world use the Nutrition Care Process Terminology (NCPT) to communicate the Nutrition Care Process (NCP).1 In this article, nutrition and dietetics practitioners or professionals; dietitians; dietitians-nutritionists; and dietetic technicians, registered, are collectively referred to as professionals. The NCPT is a standardized terminology or controlled vocabulary that complements the NCP, a systematic problem-solving roadmap for planning and providing nutrition and dietetic care to individuals and populations, and researching related outcomes.
