Morris, a nutrition and nutrition education consultant, presents a guide for students, dietitians, nutritionists, generalists, and gastroenterologists to the assessment and documentation of a nutrition care plan. She reviews common medical conditions and how they affect nutrition, biochemical data and medications as they relate to health and disease, and aspects such as chart review, interviewing, objective tools for collecting assessment information, assessment of children and pregnant and lactating women, determining a plan of care, patient teaching, diet teaching for specific conditions, and legal aspects of documentation. The text is meant for use with other texts that outline the nutrition care process of the American Dietetic Association. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
