SUMMARY
Conducted during the final semester of the Bachelor of Science program in Human Nutrition
and Dietetics, the internship experience centered on delving into disease-related nutritional
issues and patient interaction. The internship took place at Gulab Devi Hospital, a prominent
medical institution in Pakistan known for employing advanced technologies and equipment in
the treatment of various ailments. Notably, the hospital prioritizes both patient well-being and
staff support. This report encompasses a historical overview, nutritional evaluations, case
studies from different hospital wards, and therapeutic approaches involving customized
recipes for diverse medical conditions. Beyond nutritional analysis, the report chronicles
personal internship insights and unveils forthcoming and revised dietary strategies. The
comprehensive medical nutritional therapy offered here incorporates recommendations and
guidance. Throughout the internship, I acquired proficiency in an array of specialties
including reproductive nutrition, oncology nutrition, pulmonology nutrition, medical
nutrition, coronary care nutrition, surgical nutrition, pediatric nutrition, intensive care
nutrition, and outpatient nutrition. A range of diets were practiced during the internship,
encompassing the DASH diet, Diabetic diet, Elemental diet, Elimination diet, Gluten-free
diet, Ketogenic diet, Low-FODMAP diet, Soft diet, Specific carbohydrate diet, clear liquid
diets, full liquid diets, no concentrated sweet diet, diabetic (calorie-controlled) diet, renal diet,
low-fat diet, high-fiber diet, and no added salts diet. Additionally, the internship provided the
opportunity to gain proficiency in anthropometric measurements, encompassing weight,
height, body mass index (BMI), body circumferences (arm, waist, hip, calf), waist-to-hip
ratio (WHR), elbow amplitude, and knee-heel length. To conclude, the internship assumes a
pivotal role in nutritional training, equipping students with hands-on expertise in managing
medical conditions through nutrition-focused care processes and medical nutritional therapy.

Purpose:
The Human Nutrition and Dietetics internship at Gulab Devi Hospital provides aspiring
nutritionists and dietitians with practical exposure to clinical settings, allowing them to apply
their academic knowledge in assessing patients' nutritional needs, designing tailored diet
plans, and collaborating within interdisciplinary healthcare teams. Through this internship,
interns gain invaluable hands-on experience in patient care, develop effective communication

Consulting the resident or attending physician on the management of the patient and
ensuring that the agreed-upon management is carried out .
Long hair must be kept back; when on rotations, avoid eating and drinking in the hospital.
Use proper questioning strategies to determine an accurate nutritional diagnosis.
Conduct a thorough and precise physical exam.
Behave professionally and dress appropriately.
Understand how to use equipment before using it.
Never use equipment unless you are completely familiar with how to use it;
Always put all tools and supplies back where they came from.
Use all the resources available to you in evidence-based medicine to make decisions
about management, diagnosis, and therapy that are supported by good logic.
Be sensitive when providing inpatient care by treating each patient as an individual while
taking into account their age, culture, disability, education, ethnicity, gender, race, and
religion.
Communicate effectively with patients and families from a variety of socioeconomic and
cultural backgrounds.
Recognise your training's limitations and ask for support if needed.
Construct a nutritional management strategy using clinical reasoning techniques to
interpret data.
When asking for a consultation, be sure to ask a specific clinical question.
While doing an internship at a hospital, students should make an effort to conduct all
tasks in a professional and ethical manner.

• Analytical abilities were created for analysing anomalous test results and identifying
the root reasons, such as nutritional deficiencies, medication interactions involving
nutrients, or the outcome of a particular clinical condition.
• In the clinical nutrition setting, I learned how to develop and implement a patient
nutrition care plan that is based on the identification and assessment of a patient's
nutritional needs, as well as other health plans.
• Interpersonal skills (Effective communication, Critical Thinking & Problem
Solving abilities) were established during the internship to provide nutrition guidance
to patients and their families.
• Acquired knowledge of how to gather information from historical records, physical
examinations, and anthropometric calculations, as well as how to evaluate this
information to determine nutritional requirements. The following instruments were
used for anthropometric measurements:
Figure 2.1
Figure 2.2:
12
Mid-upper arm circumference tape (MUAC tape): it is used to measure the nutritional
status of children from the age of 12 months up to the age of 59 months
.
Weighing Machine
Weighing machine: it is used to measure the body weight to check either the patient is
underweight or overweight.
Head circumference Tape: Head circumference is measured because it's an easy way to tell
if there's a potential problem or if something needs to be watched. For example, if the head
grows too fast, it could sign hydrocephalus or water on the brain. If the head grows too
slowly, it could be a sign of microcephaly or a smaller head than normal.
13
Skinfold caliper: is used to assess the skinfold thickness, so that a prediction of the total
amount of body fat can be made. This method is based on the hypothesis that the body fat is
equally distributed over the body and that the thickness of the skinfold is a measure for
subcutaneous fat.
Flexible Segmometer
Measuring tape
Measuring tape: it is used to measure wrist circumference which is used for the
calculation of frame size

6 CHAPTER 4
6.1 Conclusion
The Human Nutrition and Dietetics internship at Gulab Devi Hospital has been an
enriching and transformative experience for aspiring nutritionists and dietitians. Through this
3 months duration internship, I was able to gain knowledge and skills in the following fields:
outpatient nutrition, coronary care nutrition, pediatric nutrition, cancer nutrition, medical
nutrition, pulmonology nutrition, reproductive nutrition, and oncology nutrition. Moreover,
the internship has fostered a deep appreciation for patient-centered care. Interacting with
patients, understanding their unique needs, and tailoring interventions accordingly
underscored the significance of empathy, communication, and cultural sensitivity in
healthcare interactions
60
Contribution to Patient Well-being: Played a role in improving patient outcomes by
providing tailored nutrition plans.
Enhanced Resumé: Strengthened resumé with practical experience and skills crucial
for a career in nutrition and dietetics.
