- The seventh edition of Lutz's Nutrition and Diet Therapy provides the beginning student with knowledge of the fundamentals of nutrition related to the promotion and maintenance of optimal health. Practical applications and treatment of pathologies with nutritional components are stressed. In addition, basic scientific information is introduced to enable students to begin to understand nutritional issues reported in the mass media. The sequential introduction of material continues to be a unique feature of this text. This book will meet the educational needs of nursing students, dietetic assistants, diet technicians, and others. Support materials for the student include case studies with examples of care plans, including referrals to other members of the health-care team, followed by Critical Thinking Questions designed to provoke imaginative thought and to foster discussion. Each chapter has review questions and clinical analysis study questions. The content of Lutz's Nutrition and Diet Therapy, seventh edition, is organized into three units.
