~Energy Expenditures and Requirements~ of the body in typhoid fever, on account of the character of the disease, are much greater than those of the normal individual and must be met by an increase in the diet if the body is to be saved from destruction. ~The Bowels.~--Diarrhea develops during any period of the disease due to excess amount of fat or to a disagreement of some of the other food constituents. It is advisable to cut down the allowance of cream temporarily and to watch stools and other symptoms for evidences of dietetic errors. ~Hemorrhage~ must be guarded against by eliminating, as far as possible, all substances liable to cause an excessive gas formation in the intestines. ~Absorption of Food~ is as a rule good. The patient is usually able to handle a large quantity of food provided it is judiciously administered with a due regard to the symptoms manifested at the time. ~Simplicity of Diet~ is absolutely essential. All the materials must be selected carefully according to the physician's orders and prepared with the greatest care in order to prevent digestive disturbances. ~High Calorie Diet~ is one in which the fuel value of the food ingested meets or exceeds the energy expenditures of the patient. Foods composing the diet are, milk and eggs for the proteins, with carbohydrates and fats in their simplest and most digestible form to balance the diet. ~Administering a High Calorie Diet~ is accomplished successfully provided the nurse exercises care with regard to the symptoms arising from time to time. These must be carefully noted and reported to the physician, for in this way only is it possible to give a sufficient quantity of food to cover the excessive breaking down of the body due to the disease. ~Fluid Diet~ is at times necessary since certain patients cannot tolerate a high calorie diet, but this is a point decided by the physician. A fluid diet consists of fluids alone, milk in particular, with broths and fruit beverages as ordered. The milk is given in definite amounts and at stated intervals. ~Milk Diet~ is one consisting solely of milk or in which the bulk of the nourishment is furnished by milk. It may be reenforced or not as desired. Lactose is the substance commonly used as a reenforcing agent. It is impossible to cover the energy expenditures of typhoid fever with a milk diet even if it is perfectly administered, but certain complications make it, at times, the only rational method of feeding.
