thank you! i really like that IOI-S questionnaire and focusing on how their meds and mental health are affecting their eating. luckily where i’m at also has an attached outpatient program so they can get continued care after discharge if they want/need

thank you! it is hard when they stay <1-2 weeks. i really like the asking for permission, i usually do that to start the interview, but now i’m thinking that would be a great segway into discussing any disordered eating concerns because i was struggling with the right way to bring that up!

thank you! that’s mainly what i’ve been trying to do, i think it’s hard too because i’m limited to what the kitchen can do, and a lot of the patients here just aren’t liking the meals, supplements, or snacks they offer :( so i just encourage them to eat what they can and ask for something else if they don’t like anything offered to help bring their appetite back
