Nutrition and Diagnosis Related Care - Excellent Reading by Kathryn Jo Shattler (owosso, MI)

5 Stars

I reviewed this book and found it to be an up-to-date, clinically relevant nutritional resource that should be on every dietitian's and physician's bookshelf. It contains a plethora of information on several clinical conditions of a nutritional nature, definitions/background of the condition, interventions available both traditional and in complementary medicine, and information on pharmaceuticals/drug-nutrient interactions. Essentially, the information would help any nutritional clinician in putting together a comprehensive assessment and care plan for a variety of illnesses that require nutritional intervention.

very helpful resource by T. Scott (Idaho)

I was required to buy this book as an intern, and never once used it. In my job now as a clinical dietitian, however, I find it to be an invaluable resource.

This book is invaluable. I have interns through my hospital pretty regularly and make them purchase this book to help w/their assessments. It is also a great reference for all RDs no matter what your skill level. There is always a disease process out there that you may not be familiar with.

Great Book! by Elicia McMullen (new york, ny)

Just received this book, need it for a dietetic internship at a large hospital system on Long Island. Great for brief descriptions and nutrition interventions on disease. Was recommended to get this book by a lot of dietetic interns so i'm sure it will come in extremely useful.

Great book, if it didn't fall apart! by C. Scott (Somerset, NJ)

I am very dissapointed with the poor spiral binding on this book, (4th edition)! As a dietetic student, I don't have much money to spend on books as it is. As much as this one is priced, the publishers could have put a higher quality binding on it, (or made it a paperback, like previous editions). Pages are falling out constantly, especially since it the type of book you refer to all the time.
