Careful evaluation of diets is important to assure clients receive food that they will eat. Nutritional supplements should only be provided when there is a medical order for them, since many clients have special nutritional needs. Dietary staff should not be instructed to leave food trays outside the room because this habit often results in delays. Specific diets are ordered by the medical provider based on the metabolic and physical needs of the client.
