THE CLINICAL DIETITIAN'S ESSENTIAL POCKET GUIDE: . Spiral-bound – June 13, 2008

Reading this book, I'm seeing that the authors require their students to create their own pocket guides, and as a nutrition student who will be graduating in a month I've found this to be tremendously helpful, well organized. I plan to put my own notes into the book to make it more useful to my uses for it. I can't compare it to other options, since this is my first one, but I'm very happy with it and it's a great learning tool. It has a flap to use as a bookmark, and although yes, the pages are thin, it's not much different than using a bible. The cover protects the pages very well.

I am an RD who purchased this book for hospital use. I highly recommend it! The book provides specific recommendations for nutrition support, including tube feedings. It has space for notes. I doubt I will use my heavy binder ever again! I prefer this guide to the ADA pocket guide. I found that the ADA guide did not have much information that I actually needed on the floors. This guide, however, contains specific info that I will use!

I just purchased this book and I am surprised at well put together and thorough it appears. I don't know that I will use it all the time, but I like it as a back up reference. I know that if I had just graduated and was looking for a "cheat" book, this would have been the one to have.Think you will have it for the iPhone?

I got this book in edition to 5 other pocket books. My clinical rotation gave me a lot of information for that particular hospital, and I still referred to this book A LOT! It has almost everything. I did find the RDs thought some of the quick calorie estimates to be a bit high and liberalized. My preceptors were more on the conservative side. It really depends on the hospital/RD you are with. Overall, I know I will still be using this while I get established and am very happy with it.

This book wasn't required for any of my nutrition classes but it was very useful to have. It has all the important numbers and risk factors, major drug/nutrient interactions, and a lot of helpful medical nutrition therapy information.

As an RD I have a copy of this pocket guide at work. It is great for a quick reference.

This is one of the best books in clinical Dietitian. But as it mentioned, it has booket size so the font size essentially small.

This book is ideal for dietetic interns. It contains a little of everything such as food/drug interactions, anthropometric calculations, nutrients requirements for disease states etc.It just reinforces what one should know.
