Prepare for clinical practice by "solving" 29 realistic case studies in nutrition and medical nutrition therapy. Using the medical record as its structure, you draw on the information provided (hospital admission data, laboratory test results, intake/output records, and physician and other health care provider progress notes) to solve the case. A series of questions follow the case, focusing on pathophysiology; assessment; clinical, nutritional, and behavioral outcomes; interventions; and appropriate follow-up for the patient.
Reflecting the latest research and evidence-based practices, NUTRITION THERAPY AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY, 4th Edition, provides comprehensive coverage of disease pathophysiology and treatment that emphasizes the best application of the nutrition care process. It clearly connects nutrition therapy practices and expected outcomes to underlying disease processes at every level--from cells to organ systems. Detailed illustrations enhance your understanding of disease progression, surgical procedures and treatment protocols, while Practitioner Interviews equip you with real-world insight on how to work with patients. The 4th Edition includes expanded coverage of nutrition therapy for pediatric and geriatric populations, medical treatment and the role of nutrition, malnutrition assessment, nutrition interventions, the monitoring and evaluation step of the nutrition care process and more.
Building a bridge from classroom to clinical practice, this casebook is composed of 32 realistic case studies appropriate for introductory and advanced level courses in nutrition and diet therapy. Each case study uses the medical record as its structure and you "solve the case" by using the information provided such as hospital admission data, laboratory test results, intake/output records, and the physician and other health care provider progress notes. The case is followed by a series of questions that focus on pathophysiology; assessment; clinical, nutritional, and behavioral outcomes; interventions; and appropriate follow-up for the patient. This "real world" approach prepares you for the professional setting. Objectives within each case are built around the nutrition care process and competencies for dietetic education.
