The medical history should
routinely include a diet history that may be relevant to the patient's
primary problem but is also used to identify nutritional deficiencies
or excesses. The information obtained in the diet history should
be used in counseling the patient and helping them improve their
dietary habits. The following paper provides detailed information
about taking a diet history.
