Prenatal Nutrition Tool (PreNut)The Prenatal Nutrition Tool was developed to support care providers working with pregnant clients. The tool helps to focus conversations on nutrition topics that influence maternal and infant health outcomes. A key component of the tool is the conversation guide that supports care providers to have meaningful client centred conversations with pregnant clients.
The Prenatal Nutrition Tool is not intended to be used as a patient handout. It is also not a screening tool for medical conditions, such as gestational diabetes, or a replacement for an in-depth prenatal nutrition assessment. |
