This topic has been developed to provide practical information on the organisational aspects of nutritional care, as well as the ethical, legal and human rights approaches to clinical nutrition. In the first module, participants will learn about the principles of nutritional care and the importance of the nutritional care process, as well as recognising the benefits of a multidisciplinary approach to nutritional care. The second and third modules will address the ethical foundations and dilemmas in nutritional care practice. In particular, the most common cultural implications of nutritional care will be explored, and the main ethical issues and dilemmas in nutritional therapy. The principlism approach in the context of clinical nutrition will also be examined in these modules. The fourth module studies access to nutritional care based on the human rights approach. The right to nutritional care is presented as a human right linked to the rights to health and food Nutrition therapy is understood to be a medical therapy that requires an indication, a reachable therapeutic goal, and the patient's consent. The human rights approach to clinical nutrition should not imply an obligation to feed patients under any circumstances or at any stage of life. Neither patients nor healthcare professionals can invoke the 'right to food' to justify prolonged feeding if medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is not indicated, is futile, or may cause harm.
