Dynamics of Nutrition Support: Assessment, Implementation, Evaluation, Part 997Susanna Krey, Rebecca L. Murray Abstract: A reference test for dietitians and other health professional involved in providing nutritional support to hospitalized patients provides an in-depth and comprehensive reviw of the principles and applications of nutritional support. The 23 text chapters, prepared by experts in their respective fields, are grouped among 6 major themes: basic aspects of nutritional support (its rationale, the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, and the role of the clinical dietitian); assessing nutritional risk in patients (use of clinical history, physical measurements, clinical tests, and screening methods); establishing a patient nutritional care strategy, considering specific nutrient requirements (protein, energy, vitamins, minerals, fluids, electrolytes); applications of enteral and parenteral feeding plans, including optimization and problems encountered; and evaluation of the effectiveness of the nutritional care plan that was employed. |
