Description: Nutrition assessment and management of patients is a vital aspect of everyday medical practice. At last there is a book created for medical, dietetic, and nursing students that focuses on the basics of nutrition and the nutritional implications of disease. Co-authored by a physician and a registered dietitian, Medical Nutrition and Disease synthesizes the science of nutrition with the clinical aspects of medicine. Because nutrition crosses over many disciplines, each chapter and case has been co-written by a specialist in a different field of medicine and dietetics. This integrated, case-based approach offers a complete perspective on the medical and nutritional implications of various clinical scenarios, with an emphasis on management of disease and prevention. With more than 75 multiple-choice questions and answers and 19 clinical cases, it is ideal for students who want to read and prepare for exams at their own pace.

Medical Nutrition and Disease is the first book of its kind to provide essential information to aid in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with common medical conditions.
