This work is intended for practicing primary physicians, nurses, and those going into these fields. It is meant as a general overview for those who need to include a routine nutrition assessment into their patients′ visits. It would be a welcome addition in health care collections.

"Due for release in July, this guide arms health professionals and consumers with nutritional information for preventing obesity–related diseases. Essential for expanding knowledge and research into preventative medicine." (Optimum Nutrition, Summer 2007)

The authors note the unique contributions that registered dietitians can make in the prevention and management of chronic disease.

The aim of this book is to assist PAs and all primary care clinicians as they incorporate nutrition into routine patient care. The book will cover nutrition assessment and therapy for the most common medical conditions seen in the primary care setting. With the epidemic of obesity and its associated consequences, including heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer, clinicians need to be able to assess and counsel patients about their diet and lifestyles on a daily basis. Despite this need, however, nutrition education has been lacking in medical schools and residency programs. The result– most PAs (all primary care practioners) who treat patients every day are inadequately trained in nutrition, and lack the information their patients want and need. Studies also document that patients want their practioners to advise them about nutrition therapy, vitamin and mineral use, information on popular weight loss diets, and "natural" weight loss supplements. The Complete Guide to Nutrition in Primary Care will provide the necessary tools to accomplish this training, allowing primary care practitioners to provide up–to–date, practical information to their patients.
