Goals
Goals for an individual on the neutropenic diet should be determined in conjunction with the client and should be specific to the individual. Goals that are set should be time-sensitive, easily measured and achievable by nutrition intervention. Due to the avoidance of food groups on this diet, only an example of a short-term goal is provided:
