Product Description

Review

"It is so easy to use this text in the classroom setting. Having the cases pre-determined as introductory/advanced helped us to quickly identify the proper case for the level that our students were currently working."

"Wonderful variety of case studies at various levels of difficulty."

"Student feedback indicated they learned from the case studies." --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Book Description

Building a bridge from classroom to clinical practice, this casebook is composed of 32 realistic case studies appropriate for introductory and advanced level courses in nutrition and diet therapy. Each case study uses the medical record as its structure. The student "solves the case" by using the information provided such as hospital admission data, laboratory reports, and physician's narrative. The case is followed by a series of questions and applications that focus on pathophysiology, assessment, clinical, nutritional and behavioral outcomes, interventions, and appropriate follow-up for the patient. This "real world" approach helps to prepare the student for the professional setting. Objectives for student learning within each case are built around the nutrition care process and competencies for dietetic education.

5.0 out of 5 stars Medical Nutrition therapy, May 10 2010

This review is from: Medical Nutrition Therapy: A Case Study Approach (Paperback)

Book came on time and in great condition. This book is valuable to the dietetic student in school or the entry level dietitian who is working with acute patients. The book gives a thorough case study of each major chronic/acute conditions with hospital admissions, labs, assessments and then ends with many good questions related to the case study. Unfortunately, there are no answers, so you have to use the NCP book, and your pathophysiology book for the answers. It is a must book to understand how to properly see the big picture which may be otherwise missed in quick assessments.

By nutritionlover - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Medical Nutrition Therapy: A Case Study Approach (Paperback)

This case study book is one I have learned a lot from , upon buying this book I would also suggest to buy Pathophysiology Made Incredibly Easy, it will make some of the questions easier to answer.
