What's New

{{collapseContainerClosed['whats-new'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • All 32 case studies are now available online in MindTap, the digital learning solution that powers students from memorization to mastery.
  • The cases are organized so that the instructor may pick and choose a variety of cases in MindTap, allowing for variable completion/grading time requirements.
  • Auto-graded Post Tests test the key concepts in each case and align to the case objectives.
  • Cases are consistent with evidence-based guidelines and incorporate up-to-date medications, surgical and other treatments, tests and normal lab values to simulate current clinical practice.

Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • Intake/output records and nursing assessment charts are included for all hospitalized patients.
  • The concepts and nutrition care process presented in the cases can apply to many medical conditions other than the ones presented.
  • The cases cross the life span, allowing the student to see the practice of nutrition therapy during childhood, adolescence, pregnancy, and adulthood through the elder years.
  • Representing both introductory- and advanced-level practice, the cases allow the instructor to choose the cases that fit the students' level of expertise. Faculty are encouraged to not only use full cases for assignments but also to pick specific questions within a case to provide practice within a lecture or even as a standardized patient or simulation scenario.
  • This collection of cases is the only text on the market that uses realistic medical scenarios that impact nutritional care.
  • Questions for each case are organized using the nutrition care process.
  • Thirty-two case studies place the student in situations that support integration of knowledge from many sources, facilitate use of previously learned information, put the student in a decision-making role, and nurture critical thinking.
  • The research that is required to complete each case requires the student to examine multiple resources to build rationales and evidence for clinical decision-making.
  • Using the medical record as the structure for each, the cases represent the most common diagnoses that rely on nutrition therapy as an essential component of medical care as well as those in which nutrition therapy plays a supporting role. The case layout and organization closely resemble the electronic medical record.
