Responding to Ketogenic/LGIT Diet Interventions

 

The selected patient is following carbohydrate restrictions due to a ketogenic diet or low-glycemic index treatment (LGIT) . When writing orders for medications, IV fluids, parenteral nutrition (TPN or PPN), food and nutrition, either one at a time or from an order template, there is the potential to violate the extreme carbohydrate restriction.

Consult the pharmacy or ketogenic dietitian as indicated by the alert before continuing.
