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.
