Nutrition Assessment Questions for Breastfeeding Women
To ensure the appropriate questions display when the Nutrition Assessment screen is opened, the Health Information should be completed first. The questions that display when you open the Nutrition Assessment screen are based on the participant's WIC category and breastfeeding amount. If the Breastfeeding Amount is not selected before opening the screen, the system does not know which questions are appropriate to display causing it to display all of the breastfeeding questions.

Risk Factors Assigned during Nutrition Assessment do Not Carry Forward in Pseudo-Certs Created by MCA
If risk factors are assigned during the Nutrition Assessment as part of the Certification Guided Script, and a Nutrition Assessment is completed as part of the Mid-certification Assessment (MCA) Guided Script, those risk factors will not carry forward if a pseudo-cert is created once the MCA has been completed. This is because the system only looks at the most recent Nutrition Assessment for risk factors when creating the pseudo-cert. Once a new Nutrition Assessment has been created, the system will only look to the new Nutrition Assessment for risk factors.
However, like all risk factors not carried forward by pseudo-certs, the original risk factors assigned at the cert's Nutrition Assessment will continue to display under the certification.
