Nutrition Therapy and Pathophysiology

• Ideal coverage for instructors who want a text focused on "clinical" or "diet therapy" topics without the basic nutrition chapters.
• An emphasis on pathophysiology clearly connects nutrition therapy practices and expected outcomes to underlying disease processes at each level of organization, from cells to organ systems.
• In-chapter boxes throughout the text focus students on topics related to clinical applications, research, brief historical developments in nutrition, and nutrition therapy for special populations.
• "End-of-Chapter Questions" review key concepts in a discussion format; their answers located in the appendix provide quick and easy reference for students.
• "Practitioner Interviews" provide real-life perspectives on working with patients in different specializations as well as advice for dietetic interns.
