Failure to Thrive and Pediatric Undernutrition
Daniel B. Kessler
A Transdiciplinary Approach
Replete with assessment and intervention techniques, this encyclopedic resource covers the medical and developmental causes and consequences of pediatric undernutrition in an accessible way. Leading experts from diverse backgrounds address both theoretical and practical issues such as epidemiology, nutrition, medical conditions, feeding, infant emotional health, working with families, research, and community programs. They also acknowledge and assess the impact of culture, social environment, and public policy on children who experience pediatric undernutrition. With this reference, physicians, nurses, nutritionists, psychologists, social workers, child care professionals, speech-language and occupational therapists, and advocates will gain a thorough understanding of pediatric nutrition and the tools to tackle problems in practice. Includes clinically useful appendixes of growth charts, questionnaires, diet records, and guidelines.
