Nutrition Essentials for Nursing Practice by Susan Dudek
Book Shop Now Editor's Note
Susan Dudek's Nutrition Essentials for Nursing Practice is a Doody's Core Title for 2025 and the most common nutrition text on BSN nutrition course syllabi we ship for. Unlike a generic nutrition textbook, this 9th edition is built around the nursing care process — every chapter walks from assessment through implementation with the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2020-2025) integrated throughout. We see this book purchased most often alongside Fundamentals of Nursing in first-semester BSN orders.
