Items related to Diet and Nutrition in Palliative Care
Optimal terminal and palliative care requires consideration of the patient and family unit as well as cultural and religious sensitivities. The patient’s well being in terms of mobility, anxiety, stress, social interaction, and pain control needs expert focus and attention. Furthermore, there is an increasing awareness that diet and nutritional support plays an integral part of the patient’s holistic well being. The interface between nutritional, emotional, cultural, and medicinal support challenges terminal and palliative care providers to recognize the right thing to do, often in the face of considerable uncertainty.
Currently, there is no comprehensive book on nutrition in terminal or palliative care that is suitable for novices and experts alike. Diet and Nutrition in Palliative Care addresses this deficiency in the literature. Designed for doctors, nurses, caregivers, and those working within the palliative or end of life domain, each chapter contains sections on applications to other areas of terminal or palliative care, practical methods and techniques, guidelines, key points and ethical issues. The book is divided into six sections:
- Setting the Scene
- Cultural Aspects
- General Aspects
- Cancer
- Non-Cancer Conditions
- Pharmacological Aspects
Despite the complexity of the correlation between diet and disease, there is now a sufficient body of evidence to encourage applying nutritional science in everyday clinical practice. Increasingly, a strong interest and up-to-date knowledge and understanding of scientific studies on nutrition enables clinicians to help patients under their care more effectively at every stage of their illness. In response to this need, this handbook presents important information on the holistic use of nutrition and diet therapy in palliative care.

Review:
Professor Victor R. Preedy is the Director of the Genomics Centre in the department of Nutrition and Dietetics at King’s College in London.
"The book has a clear structure, with many illustrative tables and the essential points of each chapter are summarized at the end. It is written to accommodate all who care patients for palliative stage but could be particularly useful for students who do advanced work in both basic and specialist training. Each chapter has a variety references for those wishing to immerse themselves further."
―Svenskt Palliativt Natverk, 2012
"This book provides a wonderful blend of palliative and nutrition care concepts for the healthcare professional and adds to the body of knowledge for clinicians seeking to improve aspects of patient care based on quality-of-life goals, rather than technology-driven healthcare."
―Denise Baird Schwartz, MS, RD, FADA, CNSD, in Nutrition in Clinical Practice, 27(2), 2012
"The essays are well written ... useful as a reference work on a palliative care floor in a health care facility. Summing Up: Recommended."
―CHOICE Magazine
