NutriNotes: Nutrition And Diet Therapy Pocket Guide Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Do your students need to calculate someone’s body mass, but can’t remember the formula? What should your students suggest when a diabetic patient wants a piece of fruit? This scrub-pocket-sized reference offers at-your-fingertips nutritional facts and important-to-know-but-rarely-memorized formulas. It contains nutrition assessment tools that can be written on with an ordinary ballpoint pen and easily wiped clean with alcohol to reuse again and again. Plus, it makes a great reference when a full nutrition text is not required."Whether a student is in beginning courses, a graduate student is working in nurse practitioner programs, or a nurse is currently working in a multitude of clinical settings, this book has merit. The book relates information that is needed in everyday life within clinical environments. It is a very compact reference, with an easy design for use. More importantly, the fact that it is waterproof and reusable makes this book a worthwhile resource. I intend to recommend this book for my students." Joyce M.

I had high hopes for this book, but was a little disappointed when it arrived. It contains some out of date info (the old food guide pyramid - not the new one, and definitely not MyPlate) and didn't contain some of the things that I need for reference regularly - certain calculations, etc. I have a bunch of note cards on a ring that I added reference material to throughout my undergrad and graduate nutrition career and I went back to using that.
This book is a wonderful pocket reference. I would recommend this to any nursing student to use in the clinical setting. Indexes and quick reference tabs are great for quick look ups and waterproof surface makes it easy to clean (because we all know that some gross stuff can get on it). Great Buy!
This pocket guide was recommended to me by a co-worker. It provides you with helpful information if you work in the nutrition field whether it's in a clinical or nursing home setting. It's a great reference tool. Worth the money.
Everyone should have this pocket guide. I used it to make all of my diet cards. It was in great shape, and I will recommend all of the pocket guides to everybody.
Fast service. Great little book to carry around. This has lots of tid bits and wonderful information regarding nutrition, diets, drug interactions and more!
As it is titled..NOTES...gives enough information, whets your appetite to learn more, great for quick reference, small enough to carry around.
