Nutrition Therapy and Pathophysiology

NUTRITION THERAPY AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY, 2e, International Edition provides a comprehensive focus on pathophysiology and medical treatment with a thorough review of the most current research and application of evidence-based nutritional care for students, clinicians and researchers. The Second Edition not only continues to provide an all-in-one resource for the study of nutrition therapy, but also more closely integrates the nutrition care process through a reorganization of chapters and its pedagogy. NUTRITION THERAPY AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY, International Edition strives to educate students about not only facts and theories that comprise current medical knowledge, but also the process of skill development that empowers students to grow in expertise within their field.

Features
Ideal coverage for instructors who want a text focused on "clinical" or "diet therapy" topics without the basic nutrition chapters.
An emphasis on pathophysiology clearly connects nutrition therapy practices and expected outcomes to underlying disease processes at each level of organization, from cells to organ systems.
In-chapter boxes throughout the text focus students on topics related to clinical applications, research, brief historical developments in nutrition, and nutrition therapy for special populations.
"Practitioner Interviews" provide real-life perspectives on working with patients in different specializations as well as advice for dietetic interns.
"End-of-Chapter Questions" review key concepts in a discussion format; their answers located in the appendix provide quick and easy reference for students.
End-of-chapter tables describing complementary and alternative therapies provide a handy reference for the intern or practitioner.
Additional learning aids, including chapter glossaries, informative tables, explanatory figures, and Web links with brief annotations reinforce student learning.
