Patients who are unable to achieve an adequate nutritional intake via their gut are at risk of malnutrition and its many associated problems. They may therefore require feeding directly into a vein. "Prescribing Adult Intravenous Nutrition" is an introductory text offering the inexperienced healthcare professional involved in nutritional support, a practical guide to the broad principles and practice of adult parenteral nutrition. "Prescribing Adult Intravenous Nutrition" describes: why nutritional care is so important; what should be given; what can go wrong; how to deal with any IVN related problems; and organizational aspects of nutritional care.
Reviews

'This textbook...is both a comprehensive introduction to intravenous nutrition (IVN) and a useful reference text. The writing style is easy to read and information is provided at an accessible level for those new to the subject. This textbook covers all the areas that prescribers of parenteral nutrition should be aware of. It has relevance to all members of the healthcare team.'
