Summary

Registered dietitians, educators, and students have been asked to adopt a new standardized language for Nutrition Diagnosis as a part of the American Dietetic Association#x19;s Nutrition Care Process (NCP). The process is intended to improve the consistency and quality of care, as well as to enhance the predictability of outcomes. Improved ability to gather outcomes data promises to help dietitians increase overall efficacy and demonstrate the value of their services. While this process utilizes many aspects of the traditional care model, dietitians are unsure of how to implement the completely new aspect of standardized language and Nutrition Diagnosis. Clinical Case Studies for the Nutrition Care Process presents clinical nutrition case studies utilizing the new standardized language and Nutrition Diagnosis and shows readers how to apply the standardized language to specific clinical cases. Case studies are drawn from the author#x19;s experience and collected from practitioners who are experts in their field, providing a variety of interesting, realistic cases. Hot topics such as adolescent obesity and bariatric surgery are included. Cases also include questions to help readers who are not familiar with a particular specialty explore the pathophysiology of disease and nutritional treatment recommendations.An introductory section on the Nutrition Care Process, how to use the standardized terms, and how to develop a nutrition diagnosis is included.
