“The purpose is to address the complexities and benefits of nutrition support in the acute care setting and at home, when needed. … the author of the foreword notes that medical students, nurses, surgeons, and physicians would benefit. The title appears to meet the needs of the intended audience. … For those who are actively involved in caring for patients on nutrition support, this is a very nice addition to their references.” (Amy Hess-Fischl, Doody’s Book Reviews, September, 2015)
