Description
Abstract: The objectives of this manual are to provide examples of nutritional problems in clinical medicine, to encourage the readers own self-assessment of them, and to provide critiques of the problems with some sources for further reading. The first section of this publication presents a discussion of the definition of clinical nutrition. The second section presents 149 case studies of nutritional problems organized geographically. Each case study concludes with questions accompanied by full critiques of the recommended "answers" supported by references to the literature. Section III, resources in clinical nutrition, includes lists of nutrition texts and journals and food and nutrition tables, charts, and formula.
