Description
Part of the popular LPN Threads Series, Williams' Basic Nutrition & Diet Therapy is the market leader for a reason: you get coverage of
hot topics, emerging trends, and cutting edge research, plus all the essentials for providing the best nutrition care. Written in a clear,
conversational style, the book begins with the fundamental concepts of nutrition and then applies those concepts to diverse demographic
groups in different stages of life. You also learn how selected disease processes work, and how to help communities and individuals achieve
health and healthy living. A free CD contains Nutritrac, a computer program that helps you analyze case studies and create customized
client profiles.
