A powerful all-in-one resource for students, clinicians and researchers, NUTRITION THERAPY AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY, 4th Edition, clearly connects nutrition therapy practices and expected outcomes to underlying disease processes at every level--from cells to organ systems. Emphasizing the nutrition care process, it reflects the latest research, evidence-based practice guidelines, and scope and standards of dietetics practice. Detailed illustrations enhance student understanding of disease pathophysiology and progression, surgical procedures and treatment protocols, while Practitioner Interviews provide real-world insight for working with patients. Emphasizing concepts and advice most useful to students, it's the ideal text for instructors who want to focus on "clinical" or "diet therapy" topics without basic nutrition chapters.

New to this edition
• Completely up to date, the fourth edition provides revised PES (Problem, Etiology, and Signs/Symptoms) statements and increased use of ADIME (Assessment, Diagnosis, Intervention, and Monitoring/Evaluation) formats for case studies. There is expanded coverage of the use of evidence-based guidelines to guide appropriate nutrition interventions and the monitoring and evaluation step of the nutrition care process.
• The Appendices are revised with the inclusion of the 2015-2020 US Dietary Guidelines eating patterns.
• The fourth edition provides a new emphasis on the inter-professional health care team and the role of the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. There is improved integration of pediatrics throughout each chapter and enhanced calculations for nutrition support with incorporation of latest critical care guidelines. Guidance for nutrition focused physical examination and malnutrition diagnosis has also been added.
• Every chapter has new Learning Objectives to help students focus on what they are expected to learn.

Features
• Extremely reader friendly, detailed illustrations enhance student understanding of disease pathophysiology and progression (including congestive heart failure, irritable bowel syndrome, cell mitosis in cancer, metabolic blocks), surgical procedures (such as fundoplication and distal splenorenal shunt) and assessment/treatment protocols (including estimation of energy needs, diagnosis of malnutrition, weight management, hypertension and nutrition support during metabolic stress).
• Giving students practical, on-the-job insight, Practitioner Interviews provide real-life perspectives on working with patients in different specializations as well as advice for dietetic interns.
• End-of-chapter tables describing complementary and alternative therapies provide a valuable resource for the intern as well as practitioner.
• Additional study tools--including chapter glossaries, informative tables, explanatory figures and web links with brief annotations--reinforce student learning.
• Nutrition Therapy and Pathophysiology, 4th Edition, delivers ideal coverage for instructors who want a text focused on "clinical" or "diet therapy" topics without the basic nutrition chapters.
• Twenty-six Life Cycle Perspectives features provide coverage of nutrition therapy to meet the unique needs of pediatric and geriatric populations.
• An emphasis on pathophysiology clearly connects nutrition therapy practices and expected outcomes to underlying disease processes at each level of organization, from cells to organ systems.
• Boxed features in every chapter help students connect text concepts to clinical applications, research, interesting historical developments in the field, nutrition therapy for special populations and more.
• Helping students maximize their study time, Chapter Review Questions recap key concepts in a discussion format. Answers are provided in the appendix, giving students a quick and easy reference.
