Main description:

If you're a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) who provides medical nutrition therapy (MNT) to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3 to 5D, be sure to add this guide to your library. Easy to use, it's organized according to the steps of the Nutrition Care Process (NCP) and using the International Dietetics and Nutrition Terminology standardized language. It compiles the latest evidence-based guidelines and recommendations from the most authoritative sources on MNT for CKD, including the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Chronic Kidney Disease Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guideline; the National Kidney Foundation Kidney Dialysis Outcome Quality Initiative; the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes consortium; the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition; the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; and more. Each chapter develops a case study to illustrate progression through the NCP. For the on-the-go RDN, it's also available as an online-only product as well as a print and online set.
