Synopsis

Revised and updated, this text applies the principles of nutrition to patient/client care across the lifespan. It provides an overview of basic nutrients without overwhelming the student with biochemistry. Text headings appear in question format to highlight the reading material and act as a review tool. A cultural case study opens each chapter, showing students the impact of nutrition on one family; nutrition "Facts and Fallacies" clarify common misconceptions about nutrition; and a new combined chapter on cholesterol, protein, and fat emphasizes practical application of the food pyramid. The book describes the new USDA food label, explains the "Nutrition Screening Initiative", a tool for assessing the nutritional status of older adults.
