Written in conjunction with the British Dietetic Association, Advanced Nutrition and Dietetics in Nutrition Support provides a thorough and critical review of the fundamental literature in nutrition support.
Extensively evidence-based and internationally relevant, it discusses undernutrition, nutritional screening, assessment and interventions, as well as key clinical conditions likely to require nutrition support, and the appropriate care of these.
Clinically oriented and written specifically for nutritionists and dietitians, Advanced Nutrition and Dietetics in Nutrition Support is the ideal reference for all those managing malnutrition and undernutrition in patients.
