About This Book
A practical manual for nurses and caregivers combining explanatory lessons on the chemistry and physiology of food — including air, water, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, milk, digestion, and nutrition — with detailed, small-quantity recipes and menus for liquid, light, and convalescent diets. It provides instructions for preparing broths, gruels, custards, breads, and other easily digestible dishes; guidance on sterilizing and handling milk, feeding infants, tray presentation, and district nursing tasks; and lists of apparatus, charts, and sample weekly bills of fare to support teaching and bedside practice.
