Designed to enhance the many ways that eating disorders are taught in nutrition education, this concise case study–based tool kit is designed to help students apply the concepts from Pocket Guide to Eating Disorders, 3rd Ed. in real clinical scenarios.

What's included

• Six detailed case studies reflecting diverse patient experiences: type 1 diabetes, cancer treatment, aging and rehabilitation, collegiate athletics, pregnancy, and gastrointestinal symptoms
• Open-ended discussion questions with multiple acceptable answers, reinforcing that real-world eating disorder care rarely has a single "right" solution
• Instructor answer key plus student-ready worksheets in Microsoft Word
• Direct chapter references to support use of the Nutrition Care Process
• Associated ACEND competencies for easy integration into a nutrition education curriculum

The Case Study–Based Tool Kit Helps Learners

• Recognize disordered eating patterns across varied clinical contexts
• Challenge common myths and misconceptions
• Strengthen assessment, counseling, and referral skills
• Build confidence in navigating sensitive, nuanced patient situations

The case studies can be integrated into classrooms, online courses, supervised practice or independent study—wherever you need structured, applied learning tools.
