How Can Nurses Address Dietary Restrictions?

Many patients have dietary restrictions due to allergies, chronic illnesses, or religious beliefs. Nurses should be adept at identifying these restrictions and offering suitable alternatives. For example, a lactose-intolerant patient might need dairy-free options, while someone with celiac disease requires gluten-free meals. Understanding these needs helps in preventing potential complications and promoting patient comfort.
