Rezensionen

"The purpose is to address the complexities and benefits of nutrition support in the acute care setting and at home, when needed. ... the author of the foreword notes that medical students, nurses, surgeons, and physicians would benefit. The title appears to meet the needs of the intended audience. ... For those who are actively involved in caring for patients on nutrition support, this is a very nice addition to their references." (Amy Hess-Fischl, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2015)
