Medical Nutrition & Disease, Fourth Edition is an excellent text for several basic science and clinical courses, as well as a self-instructional text. This new edition has been updated by nationally recognized nutritionists and physicians. Chapter objectives identify important concepts and apply them to clinical practice, while 24 clinical cases simulate actual patient work-ups to provide a practical approach to patient care. Updated review questions allow readers to test their knowledge and prepare for course, licensing, and certifying exams. In addition, successful completion of the review questions qualifies for 40 American Dietetic Association continuing professional education credits.
