What most of us put on a "chart" are number of calories consumed at each sitting [usually not broken down into carbs, fat,etc.] and ounces of liquids. Pain meds are charted by type and frequency.
Example: 7 am: 1 scrambled egg= 110 cals
1\2 cup oatmeal with whole milk 95 cals.
8 oz water
meds: 1 hydrocodone
temp\blood Pressure- optional but a good idea
10 am: 1 can Boost 250 cals
12 oz can 7-up [liquids + cals.
You can set this up however, but if your "patient" gets down, the more info you chart, the better informed you can make the Docs or nurses. Amy
