The text helps students understand that nutrition and health are closely related as our nation faces many preventable chronic diet-related diseases.
Providing a solid foundation in the basic principles and concepts of good nutrition, the text enables LPN/LVN nursing students to explore their crucial place in advancing their clients to optimum nutritional health. It also helps students locate evidence-based resources on popular nutrition topics that are often making headlines.
Extremely student friendly, NUTRITION & DIET THERAPY, 12e has a clean, open look and straightforward presentation. It also avoids the complex explanations, dense text, and complicated illustrations and tables that are characteristic of the higher-level nutrition titles.
