Nutrition and Diagnosis-related Care

NUTRITION AND DIAGNOSIS-RELATED CARE has been developed as a tool to supplement other texts and references used by dietetic practitioners, interns, and students to quickly assimilate and implement care for numerous disorders. This manual can be used to help establish protocols and priorites in nutritional care to demonstrate transitional methods of therapy at a lower cost than total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and to categorize disorders in which nutritional input can reduce morbidity and mortality or length of stay. Not only can adequate nutritional intervention demonstrate humane concern, but it can also result in financial savings. (Preface p. vii).
