The Clinical Dietitian's Essential Pocket Guide is an up-to-date and concise pocket-sized reference that clinical dietitians can tailor to their own practice. Part I contains chapters covering nutritional assessment, life stage assessment, and nutrition support. Part II includes seven chapters on the major nutritionally relevant diseases. Appendices on food and drug interactions, laboratory assessment, and an appendix of useful reference materials round out the book. Within each disease chapter, a uniform format includes sections on disease process, treatment and nutritional intervention, and patient education. A unique aspect of The Clinical Dietitian's Essential Pocket Guide is space for users to add their own resources or references, on the blank pages that are included in each chapter.
