RE: diets in acute care setting

[Guest guest]

For Cardiac we use the TLC guidelines, 7% saturated, 30% total fat, 300 mg chol,

3-4 gm Na

we do not werve caffeine to anyone on our cardiac floors unless the doctor

writes an order that it is ok, due to so many tests that are affected by

caffeine.

No Added Salt is 3-4 gm na a day

diets in acute care setting

What are you using for:

cardiac (low cholesterol, low fat, low sodium-- what

levels?) restrict caffeine?

no added salt (what level sodium?)

We will be going with ADA NCM but I need some

definitions for our docs.

And thanks to those of you who gave me suggestions

for number of subscriptions to the NCM.
