The Clinical Dietitian's Essential Pocket Guide is an up-to-date and concise pocket-sized reference that clinical dietitians can tailor to their own practice. Part I contains chapters covering nutritional assessment, life stage assessment, and nutrition support. Part II includes seven chapters on the major nutritionally relevant diseases. Appendices on food and drug interactions, laboratory assessment, and an appendix of useful reference materials round out the book. Within each disease chapter, a uniform format includes sections on disease process, treatment and nutritional intervention, and patient education. A unique aspect of The Clinical Dietitian's Essential Pocket Guide is space for users to add their own resources or references, on the blank pages that are included in each chapter.
Customer Reviews: Best RD reference avilable!March 26, 2009 Dietetic Intern 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is the best clinical reference for RDs available! I am a dietetic intern and this is the fourth pocket reference book I have bought, it is by far the best one! I wish that I had heard of this book before I bought the other three reference books I have.
There are tabs on the sides which help you easily refer to different chapters (renal, pediatric, etc). There is also a section on lab values in the back which is VERY helpful. It easily fits into a lab coat pocket. I use this book almost daily in my clinical rotations and I highly recommend it!
