This book is a guide for clinicians seeking to use metabolic approaches in the care of hospitalized patients. Since a nutritional component exists for practically any disease process managed, it is important to properly address the macro and micronutrients that can help facilitate a favourable clinical outcome.
Metabolic medicine is a newly recognized specialty that applies proven nutritional approaches to support hospitalized patients within existing standards of care. Optimizing Metabolic Status for the Hospitalized Patient: The Role of Macro- and Micronutrition on Disease Management addresses the gap of nutrition knowledge among physicians who generally care for patients without addressing the nutritional and metabolic perspective.
Features:
- Demonstrates the state-of-the-art guidelines for practicing metabolic medicine in the hospital setting.
- Provides a "hands on" guide for day-to-day metabolic management of hospitalized patients.
- Provides personal insights from one of the field's leading practitioners, drawing upon decades of experience.
- Includes historical reviews of key scientific developments.
This book provides value to a broad range of medical specialists and various other communities in patient care. It is useful for nurse practitioners and physicians assistants working in those fields as well as medical students and residents training to enter healthcare.
