This publication is one of the courses from the Oklahoma Practical Nursing series of competency-based training programs designed to coordinate the job-related experience and knowledge needed by personnel working in a practical nursing position. The nutrition module includes several concepts that are integrated throughout the Practical Nursing series: nursing process, patient teaching, wellness, nutrition, safety, life span, medication, documentation, cultural differences, and professional leadership and development. This module contains two instructional units that cover the following topics: (1) applying principles of basic nutrition and (2) applying principles of diet therapy. Each instructional unit follows a standard format that includes some or all of these basic components: performance objectives, information sheets, assignment sheets, activity sheets, handouts, supplements, transparency masters, tests, and answers to tests and assignment sheets. All of the unit components focus on measurable and observable learning outcomes. (KC)
