Learning Outcomes
Whatever modification is done to a patient’s diet, acceptance of food is largely influenced by the
nursing personnel. It is important for patients to be educated on the diet given to them.

At the end of this module, you are expected to:

1. Differentiate the kinds of standard hospital diets; and
2. Plan and prepare different sets of standard hospital diets.

Hello, future nurse!

Welcome to your fourth worksheet. Certain diseases require modifications of the nutritional
components of a regular diet. Each diet has a purpose and a rationale. Modifications may be done
qualitatively, such as in terms of consistency, texture, or nutrients, or quantitatively, such as in
size and the number of feedings, or control of specific nutrients. In this worksheet, you will learn
about the different standard hospital diets. Meet up with your groupmates and completely answer
the case analysis presented below for your corresponding group number:
