This new point-of-care pediatric nutrition resource provides practitioners with a valuable and easy-to-use reference when evaluating and managing a pediatric patient’s nutritional intake and habits. In-depth tables and charts provide specific metrics to assist the clinician, broken out by age-group, activity level, biochemical value, specific nutrient, food group, and more.
The chart can be kept on hand throughout the clinical day to support the assessment of toddlers, school-aged children, adolescents, and young adults. CONTENTS CONSIST OF- Nutritional Assessment
