Main description:

Prepare for clinical practice by "solving" 29 realistic case studies in nutrition and medical nutrition therapy. Using the medical record as its structure, you draw on the information provided (hospital admission data, laboratory test results, intake/output records, and physician and other health care provider progress notes) to solve the case. A series of questions follow the case, focusing on pathophysiology; assessment; clinical, nutritional, and behavioral outcomes; interventions; and appropriate follow-up for the patient.
