Applied Nutrition & Dietetics for BSc Nurses, 2nd Edition is a completely revised, INC-syllabus-aligned nutrition textbook built for the Semester II BSc Nursing curriculum. Every chapter has been reworked for this edition, tables and diagrams for diet plans have been updated throughout, and a brand-new chapter on Food Safety has been added to bring the book in line with current nursing education requirements. The book is structured across 13 chapters plus an index, moving from the fundamentals of nutrition science through to applied clinical and community practice: nutrition basics and Basal Metabolic Rate; carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins and minerals with their classification, dietary sources and RDA; balanced diet planning across the life cycle including diet in pregnancy and lactation; nutrition deficiency disorders and the nurse's role in managing them; therapeutic diets for disease conditions and pre/postoperative care; cookery rules, food preservation and safe food handling; nutritional assessment and nutrition education; national nutritional programmes; and the new Food Safety chapter covering regulatory measures and safe cooking practices. Content is presented in a concise, systematic style with chapter-opening outline boxes, bolded sub-headers, and comparative data tables - such as food-group serving tables by activity level and nutrient function-source tables - that make dense nutrition science easier to study and revise. Each chapter closes with long-answer, short-answer and more than 150 multiple choice questions, and the book includes complimentary online access to MCQs and flash cards for additional self-assessment. Who This Book Is For: BSc Nursing Semester II Students: covers the complete Applied Nutrition and Dietetics component of the second-semester Indian Nursing Council revised syllabus, chapter for chapter. GNM Students: equally useful for General Nursing and Midwifery students studying the same core nutrition and dietetics content. Healthcare Professionals: a practical reference for diet planning, therapeutic diets and nutrition counseling relevant to other allied healthcare personnel. Why This Book Helps: Matches the syllabus exactly: written and revised chapter-by-chapter as per the Indian Nursing Council's revised curriculum, so nothing extra to cross-reference. Turns theory into practice: practical diet plans and menu plans are included for direct application in cookery practical classes and food preparation sessions. Builds clinical judgment: dedicated coverage of nutrition deficiency disorders and therapeutic diets spells out the nurse's specific role in patient management. Strengthens exam readiness: 150+ MCQs per chapter plus long and short answer questions give students a direct route to revision and self-testing. Adds a current-affairs edge: the new Food Safety chapter covers regulatory measures and safe food handling, a topic increasingly tested and clinically relevant. Key Features: Completely revised content across all 13 chapters for the 2nd edition, aligned with the INC revised syllabus. New chapter on Food Safety covering regulatory measures, safe cooking practices and food-borne disease prevention. Updated and revised comparative tables and diagrams for diet plans, including food-group and nutrient-source tables. More than 150 multiple choice questions per chapter, plus long-answer and short-answer questions, for exam preparation. Complimentary online student resource with additional MCQs and flash cards.
