Produced in collaboration with the Cleveland Clinic, this updated handbook assists clinicians with nutrition assessment and determining the presence and degree of malnutrition in their adult patients. Contributors discuss the components of the nutrition-focused physical exam and present pictorial representations of various stages of muscle and fat depletion, vitamin and mineral losses, and fluid balance. They also provide useful tips and techniques for daily practice along with tables and charts containing side-by-side color illustrations.

New to the Second Edition:

New and enhanced photos and illustrations

Information on examining and evaluating patients with obesity

Tips for conducting telehealth appointments

Suggestions for electronic medical record documentation

The lay-flat spiral binding allows for easy referral, and the small size of the book makes it convenient for clinicians to carry in their lab coat pocket.
