"Preface Like air and sleep, nutrition is a basic human need essential for survival. From curing hunger to reducing the risk of chronic disease, nutrition is ever changing in response to technological advances and cultural shifts. Because nutrition at its most basic level is food-for the mind, body, and soul-it is a complex blend of science and art. Although considered the realm of the dietitian, nutrition is a vital and integral component of nursing care across the life cycle and along the wellness-illness continuum. By virtue of their close contact with clients and families, nurses are often on the front line in facilitating nutrition. Nutrition is woven into all steps of the nursing care process, from assessment and nursing analysis to implementation and evaluation. This textbook seeks to give student nurses an essential nutrition foundation to better serve themselves and their clients"-- Provided by publisher.
