Which option best represents the primary team's composition?

A well-rounded primary care team involves collaboration across medical, nutritional, and psychosocial dimensions. The physician provides medical diagnosis, treatment planning, and medical oversight. The dietitian brings specialized knowledge to nutrition management, tailoring plans to the patient’s condition, dietary needs, and goals. The social worker addresses barriers outside medical care—such as access to resources, financial concerns, housing or transportation, and discharge planning—so the care plan can be implemented. Because each role contributes a crucial piece of the patient’s overall care, selecting all of these professionals best represents the primary team. In real-world settings, teams expand further, but omitting any one of these elements would leave a significant aspect of care unaddressed.
