The Essential Pocket Guide for Clinical Nutrition (Paperback)

In today’s fast-paced healthcare world, it’s crucial to have the information you need when you need it. The Essential Pocket Guide for Clinical Nutrition, Fourth Edition is a quick reference guide for dietitians, students, interns, and other health professionals actively engaged in clinical nutrition. The easily readable format incorporates tables and boxes for immediate access to evidence-based information on nutritional assessment, nutrition support, life-stage nutrition, and nutrition considerations for specific diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and gastrointestinal diseases. All-inclusive resources and relevant appendices such as laboratory assessment and food-drug interactions, save the clinician from carrying around separate resources. There is no comparable pocket guide on the market that includes this comprehensive coverage of clinical nutrition.
