This collection of case scenarios can be used as a study aid for graduate students in nutrition, interns, and practicing dieticians. It includes information on using the standardized terms for nutrition diagnosis now required by the American Dietetic Association as part of the Association's Nutrition Care Process. Cases are grouped in sections on general nutrition care, pediatrics, cardiovascular disease, endocrine and renal disease, oncology and hematology, and gastrointestinal and nutrition support. Each case includes 10 questions, plus learning objectives and references to medical literature. Four appendices (about 55 pages) offer conversions and calculations, energy equations, biochemical data, food and drug interactions, and medical terminology, as well as tables of adult and pediatric oral and enteral formulas, links for assessment and monitoring of nutrition, and abbreviations. The book is illustrated with simple b&w anatomical illustrations. Answers are available online for instructors and clinical managers. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
