metabolic complications – hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, electrolyte imbalances, refeeding syndrome, hepatic steatosis; PN weaning, transition to enteral/oral), nutrition support for medical conditions (cardiovascular – DASH diet, Mediterranean diet, sodium restriction, saturated fat reduction, increased fiber, omega-3 fatty acids; diabetes – carbohydrate consistency, glycemic control, insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio, hypoglycemia management; gastrointestinal disorders – celiac disease – lifelong gluten avoidance; inflammatory bowel disease – nutrition deficiencies, lactose intolerance, low residue during flares; liver disease – protein restriction with encephalopathy, sodium restriction with ascites, vitamin supplementation; renal disease – protein, potassium, phosphorus, sodium, fluid restrictions based on stage and dialysis status; cancer – nutritional screening, malnutrition management, side effects of treatment – nausea, vomiting, mucositis, taste changes, anorexia, cachexia; wound healing – increased protein, calories, vitamin C, zinc;
