Master the essentials of nutrition science and patient care with Williams Essentials of Nutrition and Diet Therapy, 13th Edition! This succinct text equips you with the knowledge necessary to apply nutrition concepts effectively in disease treatment, prevention, and enhancement of life quality. The book is organized into three main sections: fundamentals of nutrients and the human body, nutrition across the life cycle and within communities, and clinical nutrition.
You will find case studies that guide you in determining nutritional interventions for both acute and chronic conditions. Authored by nutrition experts Joyce Gilbert and Eleanor D. Schlenker, this edition incorporates the latest research findings and evidence-based practices.
The strong community emphasis provides comprehensive coverage of health promotion, cultural competence, patient safety, lifespan considerations, and public health issues. The person-centered approach empowers you to craft practical solutions tailored to individual challenges, informed by the authors’ own research and clinical insights.
Highlighted features include MyPlate for Older Adults, created by nutrition scientists at Tufts University and the AARP Foundation, as well as the Nestlé Mini Nutritional Assessment Scale. Health Promotion sections enhance your nutrition education, emphasizing that healthy lifestyle decisions and preventive care are the keys to well-being.
Case studies present real-world problem-solving opportunities, allowing you to translate concepts into actionable practices in nutrition care. Evidence-Based Practice sections encourage critical thinking while summarizing contemporary research outcomes. Focus on Culture boxes elevate cultural competence by addressing nutritional challenges, health issues, and suitable interventions across diverse cultural, ethnic, racial, and age groups.
