%X for health care practitioners working in nutrition is most important to understand evidence based tools in particular to evaluate nutritional status individually and within populations thus they can select the optimal intervention and document it. countries such as venezuela are immerse in a process called £¿nutrition transition£¿ where the characteristic coexistence of under and over nutrition are frequent even within the same family. it is important to count on standardized models that allow and guide the nutritional evaluation, intervention and monitoring to obtain successful changes in correcting the inadequate nutritional situation at individual level and as population. we aim to introduce and encourage the use of ada nutrition care process (ncp) by health care practitioners related to nutrition field as well as understand the feasibility of its application as an efficient and based evidence tool in developing countries, and fully describe its four phases: first phase nutrition assessment: it is encouraged the use of appropriate methods and tools. second phase, nutrition diagnosis identifies and labels the problem, determining possible causes and contributing risk factors. third phase: nutrition intervention, consist of a purposefully planned actions designed with the intent of changing a nutrition related behavior, risk factor, environmental condition, or aspect of health status. fourth phase: nutrition monitoring and evaluation: refers to the review and measurement of the success of the intervention. documenting this information is encouraged because it promotes a way to monitor the outcomes effectively, that can be replicated due to the standardized patterns it follows.
