by Sylvia Escott-Stump

Developed by a nutritionist, the 7th edition of this textbook provides medical nutrition therapy information for the care of patients with over 360 diseases, disorders, and conditions. It offers quick access to the available research evidence and best clinical practices. Each entry for a condition includes vital background information, objectives for care, dietary and nutritional recommendations, and commonly used medications and herbal or botanical remedies and their potential side effects. It features a new full-color art program and additional clinical photographs, the most recent information on nutritional genetics, as well as several nutrition care process examples supporting the American Dietetic Associations's guidelines. The new Dietary Reference Intakes are used throughout the book. An expanded complementary nutrition section provides vital information on herbs, botanicals, and dietary supplements.
