Medical Nutrition Therapy Across the Continuum of Care
 

Medical Nutrition Therapy Across the Continuum of Care, 2nd edition


Originally priced at $75.00, for a limited time this publication will be on sale for $30.00.

The disease-specific protocals included in the Medical Nutrition Therapy Across the Continuum of Care are in the process of being revised using ADA's evidence analysis process.  Until the new evidence-based practice guidelines/MNT protocols are completed, practitioners can use the disease-specific protocols in Medical Nutrition Therapy Across the Continuum of Care.  

Important Practice Tip:  The CD-ROM Nutrition Practice Guidelines for Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus; Nutrition Practice Guidelines for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus; Hyperlipidemia Medical Nutrition Therapy Protocol; and Chronic Kidney Disease (non-dialysis) Medical Nutrition Therapy Protocol replace the protocols for these diseases in the Medical Nutrition Therapy Across the Continuum of Care publication.

Watch for new Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guidelines on the Evidence Analysis Library.
