The Louisiana Dietetic Association's Manual
of Medical Nutrition Therapy was developed as
a guide for dietitians and foodservice personnel
working in hospitals and long term care facilities.
It also serves as a guide to physicians in prescribing
appropriate nutrition interventions in these
institutions.
The purpose of the LDA Manual of Medical Nutrition
Therapy is to provide practical information
on routine diets and their modifications for
a variety of nutritional needs.
