Excellent resource for any dietitian, it was a life saver during my dietetic internship and has continued to be a valuable resource to me in my private practice. It is simple, easy to use and accurate-allows you to quickly assimilate and implement care for numerous disorders. I highly recommend it to any dietetic intern or student.

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.

This is an incredibly helpful tool. It's well organized, concise, and easy to use. A great reference for RD's and other health professionals.

Great resource of dietitians or other nutrition related medical professionals. I would not recommend this book for people who do not have a lot of nutrition or medical background. This book is the what you need to know, shortened version of the MNT book most of us used. The MNT book was great for learning diseases etc initially but in practice 30 page chapters on a disease state is to long when you have patients to see. This is when this book is great. You can look up a disease state and in 3-5 pages it will tell you what labs to look for, common nutrition risk factors and some examples of PES statements basically what to look at and how to decide to proceed.

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.

This book is a great resource for me. My dietetic supervised practice experience has been challenging but this book has been a life saver for me and it is easy to read and well organized. I will keep it for years to come in my years as a dietitian.

A quick summary of the disease and nutrition intervention. Great tool and better that Krause's Food and Nutrition Therapy book, which after reading you still feel clueless.

Excellent reference material for dietitians. Recommended by a student intern and have used it many items in my clinical practice.

I love this book! Our unit had a copy for reference. I loved it so much that I bought the new edition for home use. This book provides straightforward, specific recommendations and explanations for a variety of conditions. I love the color pictures and print in this edition. Well worth the money. I do wish it provided more information on tube feedings and TPN, though.

I am a grad student and am in my clinical rotation for becoming a registered dietitian. This book is very thorough and easy to navigate through. It has helped me a lot when assessing and charting on patients! I definitely recommend it to those interested in medical nutrition therapy.
