QUESTIONS???
DIET
THERAPY
Diet Therapy is the use of any diet
for restoring or maintaining optimal
nutritional status and body
homeostasis
This is accomplished by
modifying one or more of the
following aspects of the diet:
1) Basic nutrient (s)
2) Caloric contribution
3) Texture or consistency
4) Seasonings
What can affect
how a patient eats???
I will give you a description a typical hospital diet
“Buzz in” by typing a # into the chat box.
Wait until I call on you to type in your response.
The first person to correctly identify the type of assessment wins that question.
This diet permits tea, coffee or coffee substitute, fatfree broth, fruit juice, ginger ale, fruit juice, flavored
gelatin, fruit ices, and water gruels (strained and
liquefied cooked cereals are sometimes given)
This diet changes the texture of foods. It is used for clients
who have difficulty swallowing. Example, those with partial
paralysis of the throat following a stroke (CVA) or patients
undergoing radiation treatment for neck and throat
cancers.
This diet is limited to soft foods for those who have
difficulty chewing food because of missing teeth or
poorly fitting dentures
So give yourself a hand!
Alternative Feeding
Tube Feeding
Parenteral Feeding via Peripheral Vein
Parenteral Feeding by Central Vein
Tube Feeding
•Known as Enteral
Feeding.
•Used for patients
who have enough
functioning GI tract to
digest and absorb
food
Parental Peripheral Nutrition
-Can be known as PPN
-Nutrient fluids entering a
peripheral vein can be
saline with 5-10%
dextrose, amino acids,
electrolytes, vitamins,
and medications
-Appropriate when
enteral feedings are
contraindicated
Total Parenteral Nutrition
Total Parenteral Nutrition
 Used when a patient is severely depleted nutritionally
or if the GI tract cannot be used.
 Via a catheter (usually the subclavian to the superior
vena cava)
 Is a sterile mixture of glucose, amino acids, and
micronutrients
