Notas del Editor

This manual is a one-stop resource that contains a compilation of facts designed to assist the healthcare professional in delivering nutritional therapy to patients in both ambulatory and hospital settings. Organized in outline format with generous use of tables, the chapters follow these areas: general principles and nutritional recommendations for adults; individual components of nutritional therapy and delivery techniques; and specific metabolic disorders. A new chapter on alternative nutritional therapy reviews the information on approved nutritional supplements. Appendices include commonly used formulas, the newly revised Recommended Dietary Intakes, diet lists for office use, and an explanation of food labels.
