Clinical Nutrition For The Health Scientist
About this book
Nutrition manuals and textbooks are usually written to meet the needs of nutritionists or would-be nutritionists. This manual has been written to meet the needs of health professionals who are not nutritionists, including physicians, nurses and pharmacists. The aim is to acquaint readers in these professions with the principles of nutrition and the application of nutrition to the better delivery of health care.
