The nutrition care of a patient is complicated by the recent proliferation of commercially available specialty products. Rational and objective guidelines are necessary to direct formula selection for use in specific diseases. Consideration of the patient's nutritional status, functioning of major organ systems, and alterations in nutrient metabolism are essential. The diagnosis of a specific disease does not necessitate the use of a specialty product in all instances. Many times modification of a standard formula can result in safe and effective nutrition. Basic nutrition principles should continue to guide the clinician as the definitive answers to the issues surrounding metabolic support in patients with specific disease states become available.
