Pediatric Nutrition Care Manual® Outline

The PNCM® is broken into five (5) distinct sections: (1) Nutrition Care, (2) Client Ed/Diets, (3) Calculators, (4) Formulary, and (5) Resources. Below you will find a description of each section and what information can be found within each section.

Nutrition Care: This section includes information on conditions, general and lifecycle nutrition, and preterm and high-risk infants nutrition. Each condition topic covers overview information, practice-related guidelines, as well as the Nutrition Care Process specific to each disease/condition. This section also houses the reference lists for each topic. Abstract and/or full text links are provided for all possible reference citations.

Calculators: The calculators in this section are useful when performing a nutritional assessment or planning nutrition intervention.
Formulary: This section contains nutritional information about various types of oral and tube feeding nutritional solutions, used with permission of the manufacturers. You can customize your subscription to highlight the nutritional solutions found in your facility.
