Dietitian’s Handbook of Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition

This volume brings together a group of nutrition support dietitians from the US who discuss systems approaches to the delivery of parenteral and enteral nutrition, for graduate nutrition students, dietetic interns, and practicing dietitians. They focus on evidence-based practice as they address screening and assessment tools, guidelines, ethics, requirements, and nutrition for specific conditions, such as HIV and cancer, burns, obesity in critical illness, and surgery. The text incorporates the Nutrition Care Process as specified in the 2008 Commission on Accreditation of Dietetic Education Standard II and case studies of its application. This edition has new chapters on the nutritional needs of neonates and geriatric patients and the acute care environment, as well as new expert commentaries on changing or controversial practice issues.
