Description
Nutrition and Diagnosis-Related Care, Sixth Edition helps you learn or enhance the skills and knowledge needed to develop sound medical nutrition therapy plans.

Given growing workloads for all health care professionals and shorter hospital stays for patients, the Sixth Edition emphasizes prioritizing and streamlining for all settings. You help determine when nutritional intervention compared to other medical interventions is not only effective, but also results in cost savings. Each section of the text contains the resources you need to design effective nutrition care plans tailored to specific patients, including assessment tips, sample nutrition diagnoses, objectives for nutritional interventions and monitoring, recommended food and nutritional interventions, and patient education tips. Commonly used medications and herbs or botanical products are included for assessment and monitoring.

In total, nutrition management recommendations for more than 360 disorders and conditions are presented, all supported by available research evidence and best practices in the field. New features designed for today’s health professionals:

• Full-color illustrations and photographs help you better understand the nature of various diseases and the role of nutrition as a therapy.
• Latest Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are incorporated into each section.
• Expanded complementary nutrition coverage helps you make informed judgments on the merits of herbs, botanicals, and dietary supplements

More features to aid in nutrition care plan development:

• Case studies reflecting the nutrition care process help you to apply your knowledge to manage a range of clinical practice issues.
• Nutritional Acuity Level Ranking, based on survey feedback from more than 75 clinical practitioners, can be used to identify patients at moderate and high nutritional risk.
• Clinical Indicators section for each condition lists the associated tests, disease markers, and common biochemical evaluations for that disorder to help with assessment, monitoring, and evaluation.

This course is an excellent training tool, and will serve you time and again as a practitioner.
