This course examines the nutritional needs of specific client groups throughout the lifespan and in various states of wellness. Topics related to trends and issues in nutrition as well as psychosocial and cultural aspects of food and eating behaviours will be explored. Understanding how disease processes may affect nutrition and integrating clinical application of nutrition principles is a major component of this course. Nutrition in the healthcare setting and alternative forms of nutrition such as enteral and parenteral feeding will be addressed.
