Is he comfort measures??  If he is, I would approach it from the comfort aspects--ie:  Will tolerate foods/fluids of choice that promote comfort. ...or something to that effect.  You need to point out that he is terminal and decline is expected and the comfort is the main goal.  Staff should offer favorites but not push.

Subject: dietary cp for terminal dx

I have a resident with lung Ca with mets to brain/bone.  He eats practically nothing.  What can I use for a goal r/t his poor intake?  Would giving a wt. range be appropriate?  I just cannot think at 2:30 Fri. afternoon, the 13th at that.  Thanks.
Michelle
