The Practitioner's Guide to Nutrition-Focused Physical Exam of Infants, Children, and Adolescents

This unique handbook, developed by experts, helps clinicians discern the presence and degree of malnutrition during nutrition assessment of young patients. A nutrition-focused physical exam (NFPE) should be part of the clinician’s skill set and this guide is intended to help you develop your NFPE skills! The book includes front and side view pictorial representations of various stages of muscle and fat depletion, vitamin and mineral losses, and fluid balance. It offers tips and techniques for use in daily practice when examining patients from birth to age 20, and includes useful charts and references. There is no other pediatric reference like this available elsewhere.
