A therapeutic diet may be prescribed as part of the treatment of more than one disease or condition, not according to the client's ability to tolerate food. The house diet is the one most frequently ordered and is served to clients whose condition does not require a special diet. It allows a wide choice of foods and includes almost everything. A diet as tolerated (DAT) may be ordered. It is interpreted according to the client's appetite, ability to eat, and ability to tolerate food.
