Description

Do your students need to calculate someone's body mass, but can't remember the formula?

What should your students suggest when a diabetic patient wants a piece of fruit?

This scrub-pocket-sized reference offers at-your-fingertips nutritional facts and important-to-know-but-rarely-memorized formulas.

It contains nutrition assessment tools that can be written on with an ordinary ballpoint pen and easily wiped clean with alcohol to reuse again and again.

Plus, it makes a great reference when a full nutrition text is not required. ""Whether a student is in beginning courses, a graduate student is working in nurse practitioner programs, or a nurse is currently working in a multitude of clinical settings, this book has merit.

The book relates information that is needed in everyday life within clinical environments.

It is a very compact reference, with an easy design for use.

More importantly, the fact that it is waterproof and reusable makes this book a worthwhile resource.

I intend to recommend this book for my students.""- Joyce M.
