Health and Nutrition
The assessment relates to the following unit objectives:
1. Describe the variety of methods available to assess and monitor nutrition in individuals, groups, and populations that may be used to inform practice.
2. Explain the current Australian standards for assessment of nutrition to interpret results within the context of individual and/or population level practice.
3. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of specific measures, and thus be able to select and justify appropriate methods to measure nutrition for a specific purpose (e.g., surveillance versus screening versus detection of change in behaviour).
4. Compare and contrast two nutritional measures suitable for assessing individual behaviour OR population monitoring for a setting.
