Nelms Marcia Nahikian. Medical Nutrition Therapy: A Case-Study Approach

5th edition. — Cengage Learning, 2017. — 402 p. — ISBN 978-1-305-62866-3.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 and you "solve the case" by using the information provided such as hospital admission data, laboratory test results, intake/output records, and the physician and other health care provider progress notes. The case is followed by a series of questions that focus on pathophysiology; assessment; clinical, nutritional, and behavioral outcomes; interventions; and appropriate follow-up for the patient. This "real world" approach prepares you for the professional setting. Objectives within each case are built around the nutrition care process and competencies for dietetic education.Introducing Case Studies, or Finding Your Way Through a Case Study
