Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Filled with assessment and intervention techniques, this encyclopedic resource covers the medical and developmental causes and consequences of pediatric undernutrition in an accessible way. Leading experts from diverse backgrounds address both theoretical and practical issues and acknowledge and assess the impact of culture, social environment, and public policy on children who experience pediatric undernutrition. With this reference, physicians, nurses, nutritionists, psychologists, social workers, child care professionals, speech-language and occupational therapists, and advocates will gain a thorough understanding of pediatric nutrition and the tools to tackle it in practice. Includes clinically useful appendices of growth charts, questionnaires, diet records, and guidelines. Book News Annotation:Thirty-seven contributions from a variety of disciplines discuss the
condition of infants and young children, generally three years and
younger, who fail to grow as expected based on established growth
standards for age and gender. The sections detail underlying causes
such as nutrition and feeding, the traditional medical aspects of
undernutrition, child development issues, clinician issues, community
services, and social policies. The appendices include growth charts,
questionnaires, methods of assessing feeding, and family interactions.
