Dietitian's Handbook of Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition / Edition 3

by Annalynn Skipper

Overview

This thoroughly revised and updated Third Edition of a bestselling handbook provides comprehensive coverage of systems approaches to medical nutrition therapy. Designed for graduate nutrition students, dietetic interns, and practicing dietitians, this authoritative handbook provides a solid foundation in and reference to the nutrition support field. Expert contributors present a practical approach to the delivery of parenteral and enteral nutrition. It covers all of the basics—nutritional assessment, nutrition management, monitoring and complications, and formulas, as well as new topics— wound healing, trauma, and critically ill obese patients. This is the first textbook to fully integrate the Nutrition Care Process into enteral and parenteral nutrition content as specified in the 2008 Commission on Accreditation of Dietetic Education Standard II. The Nutrition Care Process content is updated to reflect changes from the 2011 edition of the International Dietetics and Nutrition Terminology.

The book has 24 chapters divided into four parts. It is organized in a progressive manner beginning with the selection of candidates for nutrition support, then reviewing the impact of organ function and disease process on nutritional status. Nutrient delivery and organizational considerations are also discussed. The book includes black-and-white illustrations and an index. Eight new chapters have been added to this second edition to cover nutritional support in diabetes and glucose control, pancreatic function, bone marrow transplantation, HIV and AIDS, solid organ transplantation, and burns.
