😂😂 so sorry my response is coming this late. Actually I was given an additional responsibility at my place of work to handle, which requires more time and I think I will see it as a promotion 😊 so thanks for the congratulations.
To the best of my knowledge, the factors to be considered in the choice of which type of nutrition to follow are the different health conditions of Patients eg prematurity, malnutrition, inability to eat or tolerate food due to poor appetite or other underlying health conditions etc, the financial strength of the individual etc these are some of the factors which could determine the choice of the nutrition.
It is the responsibility of the health team to decide which nutrition a patient should benefit from, but it's still the right of the patient or relatives to either accept or decline as they wish.
I hope this answered your questions?
Thanks for all your answers to the (personal and topic-related) questions.
How important are the economical aspects to the choice of nutrition, related to the health condition? Would it be possible that a patient does not get the best option if they don't have enough money? If this is the case, I am definitely shocked..
PS: that's OK for the delay in answering. Don't worry ;)
Financial constraints could affect the nutrition choice and quality of a patient here in my area especially in private owned facilities.
And what about public institutions?
It's still dependent on your economic capability, because you will either get it by yourself or pay to the hospital for it, the only difference is that it will be a bit subsidized.
Oh I see. Thanks a lot for letting me know!
You are welcome.
