For the two-term course taken by nutrition, nursing, and allied health students, this comprehensive text covers normal and clinical nutrition with an emphasis on the underlying chemical processes. It contains the first 13 chapters plus Chapters 17 and 18 from Understanding Nutrition, 6E (West, 1993) and an additional 12 chapters on clinical material (organized by organ systems). The new edition includes more detailed information on dysphagia, the relationship between stress and malnutrition, cancer, AIDS, enteral nutrition, and food labeling. New Clinical Application questions (similar to those found on the Nursing License Exam) ask students to apply clinical chapter material to realistic cases. This edition includes the 1993 Diabetes Control and Complications Trial.
