Self-Check: Kosher Foods Idan is now post-operative day (POD) 3 from his bowel obstruction. He currently has a nasogastric (NG) tube for nutrition and medication intake. The healthcare provider has ordered enteral feeding be initiated, but Idan is concerned about the formula not following Kosher dietary practices. Which statement made by the nurse is most appropriate? “Enteral formulas are usually Kosher prepared, I will check to make sure.” “You aren’t actually drinking the formula, so Kosher rules do not apply.” “You don’t need to follow Kosher rules when you’re sick.” “I will call the healthcare provider to switch your order for parenteral nutrition instead.”
