Overview
Nutrition and Diet Therapy for Nurses is a complete guide to nutrition care for nurses. The authors takes a holistic approach, acknowledging that nutrition isn't just about vitamins and minerals, but also cultural values, lifespan, nutrition fads and other topics that should be considered in nutrition planning.
The text gives you tools and resources to integrate nutrition into nursing care, including nursing care plans, complementary case studies and patient education checklists. You'll apply new knowledge through critical-thinking exercises and NCLEX®-style questions preparing you for exam success.
The 2nd Edition includes reorganized chapters, expanded content and a new feature on drug interactions. Building from principles to therapies, this edition establishes the perfect balance between clear, engaging material and the latest findings in evidence-based nutrition practice.
