This nutrition handbook uses a nursing process format to facilitate the integration of nutrition into nursing care and care plans. It presents coverage of basic nutrition concepts, nutrition throughout the life cycle, normal and therapeutic clinical application, and controversial issues in nutrition. A special feature entitled Food for Thought emphasizes current nutrition topics and provides updates for the most essential information, whilst drug alerts sections discuss food and drug interactions and list appropriate interventions. Special diets and sample menus are displayed to show at a glance modified diets for particular problems.
