First, the finding of excessive sodium in the meals offered to patients with diabetes and those with sodium restrictions underscores the potential for inpatient food service to contribute to the exacerbation or slow resolution of the very conditions that may have led to the hospitalization, including the common salt-sensitive conditions of heart, kidney, and liver failure. Therapeutic goals and nutritional goals should be aligned, particularly for these conditions, and optimized to ensure the best outcomes in the hospital and in the ongoing care for these often chronic conditions.
