Consult the nutrition notes, pharmacy, and Safe List before ordering or administering medications or food.
Diet intolerance is common during illness, resulting in metabolic acidosis and the need to modify the diet prescription. Provide a liquid diet in the form of ketogenic formula and/or eggnog. If the diet is poorly tolerated, dilute to half to quarter of calories.
For all medications order the lowest carbohydrate form available. Contact pharmacy or ketogenic RD for help.
