Therapeutic Diet in the DeWit textbook

Published

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone ever came across a "box" or a "table" in the deWit Fundamentals textbook that contained therapeutic diets for a renal diet, cardiac diet, soft diet, etc.? I thought I had seen one but now I can't seem to find it. Thanks in advance!!!

for 3rd edition? did you look thru the diet therapy chapter 27? table 27-4 has specific diseases listed and the very basic diet therapy described Hope this helps

Hi,

Thank you for responding. Yes I looked through that chapter but that's not what I was looking for. I thought there was a large box or table that listed all the diets, I guess it must have been my imagination =) thank you!!!

I don't have my book handy at the moment, but I recall one of the appendices is made up of several dietary charts. I believe Cardiac is one of those charts...

I could be recalling wrong, but I do remember seeing a Cardiac diet chart... hmm...

Dontcha just love that floppy green book? LOL

LOL! I remember that book started to fall apart in NUR114! We had to use duct tape to hold them together. Not just one or two but the entire class! I was glad to be finished with it. I still have it (duct tape and all) for reference :)
