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.
Providing current information on the health, culture, food and
nutrition habits of the most common ethnic and racial groups living
in the United States, FOOD AND CULTURE supports human diversity and
inclusivity and provides you with an accessible lens to see
connection. This market-leading text for cultural foods courses is
also designed to help health professionals, chefs, and others in
the food service industry learn to work effectively with members of
different ethnic and religious groups in a culturally sensitive
manner. It also will help you develop a grounded perspective of the
diversity in the United States and enhances effective communication
across cultures in any field of work. The authors include
comprehensive coverage of key ethnic, religious and regional
groups, including Native Americans, Europeans, Africans, Black
Americans, Mexicans and Central Americans, Caribbean Islanders,
South Americans, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Southeast Asians,
Pacific Islanders, people of the Balkans, Middle Easterners, Asian
Indians, and regional Americans.
