    Examples of Positive Outcomes

    Experienced by residents with specific medical conditions

    Consistent carbohydrate diets have helped residents lower their blood sugar level and helped prevent their diabetes from progressing.
    Liberalizing diets when deemed appropriate by RD can improve quality of life, meal satisfaction, improve intakes, prevent weight loss and reduce food waste.
    Renal diets limiting potassium, phosphorus, and sodium as deemed appropriate by the RD can help lower blood potassium and phosphorus levels, decreasing the risk for arrhythmia and myocardial infarction.
    Providing meals with high fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables can help stabilize blood sugar levels in residents who have diabetes.
    Offering balanced snacks can lower the glycemic load, limiting blood sugar spikes between meals.
    Low sodium options can help to reduce edema in residents with congestive heart failure and help manage fluid retention for residents with CKD.
    Meals high in sources of protein, Vitamin C and Zinc can help promote wound healing in residents with pressure wounds.
