Evidence-based guidance for clinical practice has been derived directly from the Standards, including associated references, glossary of terms, abbreviations, and acronyms. Polices and Procedures for Infusion Therapy is intended to reflect current knowledge and practices of the clinical specialty of infusion therapy. Because clinical practice continuously evolves based on ongoing research, clinicians should make an independent assessment of the appropriateness and applicability of a policy or procedures in any specific instance -- Provided by publisher

Abstract
"The majority of cancer-related deaths are associated with nutritional problems. The major role that nutrition and diet play in the development and course of cancer had only been recently appreciated, and relatively little had been written on the topic in general. A critical component of nutrition and diet is eating behavior. Originally published in 1985, the purpose of this book was to meet the needs of both the clinician and the researcher by bringing together data and theory about nutrition and cancer from several disciplines, as considered from a biobehavioral perspective. The first chapter of the book provides an overview of the purposes and organization of the volume. The rest is divided into 3 parts. Part 1 focuses on basic research concerned with the nature and development of taste aversions and taste preferences in human and animals. Part 2 applies the basic processes reviews in the first part to the cancer area, focusing on eating and nutritional problems related to both tumor development and to learned processes that develop as a result of being exposed to radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments. Part 3 focuses on identifying and evaluating intervention strategies for improving the nutritional status of people with cancer or at high risk for developing cancer. - Provided by publisher

This book was first published in 1985 by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc. and is based on a conference held at Vanderbilt University in Mar. 1983.
