The philosophy of interdisciplinary cooperation is clearly emphasized in this book as exemplified by the participation of various disciplines in the health care field. The evidence of cross-training is highlighted by the subject matter and the authors' backgrounds. Contributors include dietitians, pharmacists, a diabetic educator and a medical doctor. Many authors have their doctorates in their area of specialization. The editors were also multi-disciplinary as were the reviewers.The book starts the reader out with some basic concepts of pharmacy, moves on through drug biopharmaceutics, food-drug interactions and metabolism. There are some good guidelines covered on the monitoring of the nutritional status in patients on medication schedules, and a review on how aging affects drug metabolism. Gerontology and drug-nutrient considerations go hand in hand in their own unique set of assessment and recommendations. When over 85% of chronic diseases and disabilities that the elderly face could have been prevented by nutrition interventions, this is an especially important chapter for those involved in nursing home care or care of the geriatric client in any setting. This population is also the group most prone to polypharmacy, and, thus, multiple food-drug interaction potentials. Included as well is a chapter on the importance of the role of the gastrointestinal system (G.I.) in thescheme of things.
