Additional Details
Stay ahead in the field of gerontological nutrition with the fully updated 4th edition of Nutrition Care of the Older Adult. Authored by leading experts, this comprehensive practice guide is thoughtfully crafted to provide both new and experienced health care professionals with the latest evidence-based practices and strategies for optimizing nutrition care in older adults.
Like the previous edition, this hands-on reference encompasses the total perspective on person-driven nutrition care of older adults. The fourth edition includes three brand new chapters on gastroenterology, food allergies and neurological disorders as well as the following:
- • Section 1: Introduction to Nutrition Care in Older Adults (person-driven care, community resources)
- • Section 2: Nutrition Assessment (skin integrity, lab assessment, dining assessment, drug-nutrient interactions
- • Section 3: Disease States and Interventions (malnutrition, hydration, oral health and swallowing, renal disease, diabetes, cancer and more)
- • Section 4: Standards for Compliance (federal regulations, role of the RDN and NDTR, emergency management and more)
Although written for RDNs, this book could be used by all healthcare professionals who work with older adults. The editor and the contributors are credible authorities. With the exception of one nurse practitioner, all of the contributors are dietitians.
Doody's Review
"This book is geared for RDNs and other nutrition professionals working with older adults, but it is very practical and could be a helpful reference for other healthcare professionals who specialize in geriatrics. This update is warranted because of all the changes since the 2004 edition."
