Best Practices

• Nursing places a protocol order in Wiz/HEO when resuming diet orders

• Nursing clicks on discontinue and proceeds with resuming diet

• Avoid clicking on “modify” to resume order as this will only modify the NPO status

• “NPO except meds” and “NPO except ice chips” could have parameters for resuming diets as well
