Reflecting the latest developments and practices from the field, NUTRITION & DIET THERAPY, 12E introduces the essentials of nutrition concepts, good health, and client care. It equips LPN/LVN nursing students with the tools and resources to more effectively help clients improve nutrition and overall health -- especially as our nation faces higher rates of preventable chronic disease as a result of poor diet quality and physical inactivity. Extremely user friendly, the text is organized around three simple concepts: Section 1 covers the fundamentals of nutrition, Section 2 explains nutrition over the life cycle, and Section 3 addresses medical nutrition therapy. New information is included on Healthy People 2020, DIETARY GUIDELINES FOR AMERICANS 2015-2020, obesity prevention and treatment, lifestyle medicine, diabetes, celiac disease, irritable and short bowel syndrome, and more. In addition, hands-on activities help readers put what they learn into practice.
