Top level concepts as subtypes of "Nutritional finding"

On the NCPT call on 20171217, it was suggested that the current set of terms such as "Inadequate dietary intake of X" and "Excessive dietary intake of X" were ambiguous as there was no clear consensus on what the term "dietary" represented, i.e. only from food sources, or food plus nutritional supplements or even parenteral nutrition.  It was suggested that this term and all terms under Nutritional finding related to minerals, energy, macro- and micronutrients, etc. be categorized by route of intake.  This discussion page has been created to allow the project group to begin the process of consensus on what the top level intake routes should be. Starting point might be oral nutrient intake, parenteral nutrient intake, etc.  These would be used as the top level for specific nutrients WRT adequacy or inadequacy.
