GREAT BOOK! EASY TO READ CHAPTERS AND INFO. GIVES INSIGHT INTO NUTRITION FOR DIFFERENT DISEASE STATES AND CONDITIONS. SUPPLEMENTS WHAT YOU ALREADY LEARN IN NUTRITION.

This is an out of date resource that is not current with nutritional recommendations, nor is the information helpful in a clinical based setting. This might be helpful for an introductory nutrition assessment course but lacks the basic nutrition focused physical exam information that is currently clinically relevant.

Excellent book for anyone needing to learn nutrition and diet needs. A must for all nurse and pre-med students alike.

Great Product, as described.
