Patients who are unable to achieve an adequate nutritional intake via their gut are at risk of malnutrition and its many associated problems. They may, therefore, require feeding directly into a vein. Prescribing Adult Intravenous Nutrition is an introductory text offering the healthcare professional involved in nutritional support a practical guide to the broad principles and practice of adult intravenous nutrition.

Prescribing Adult Intravenous Nutrition describes:
•why nutritional care is so important
•what should be given
•what can go wrong
•how to deal with any intravenous feeding problems
•how to organise aspects of nutritional care.

Numerous illustrations and case studies help to illustrate the principles discussed
