Description:

Produced in collaboration with the Cleveland Clinic, this handbook helps clinicians discern the presence and degree of malnutrition during nutrition assessment of infants, children, and adolescents. A nutritionfocused 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 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.
