CUSTOMER COMMENTS

Barbara A. Butler - "Information was detailed but concise. Well organized. A good review of critical care nutrition."

Halle I. Saperstein - "I loved how there was an updated summary of the current ASPEN guidelines. This was a GREAT review of nutrition in the critical care setting. Great case studies to use with my interns as well."

Patricia Yacovoni - "In long-term care rarely did we us TPN/PN - reading the case studies & seeing the PN calculations really provided the training once I start PN calculations at my new position. It took me many nights to read, reread and calculate the PN calculations but I know now I can do it. Thank you for the confidence boost I needed."

Lindsay M. Stover - "Very informative. From the beginning it kind of read like a story. Great details. Extremely informative and intelligently written."
