All Eligible ED Patients (Not Limited to a Particular Condition) Clinical Trial
Official title:
Journey to Understand and Interpret Juice Preference in the Emergency Department
ED patients who are able to drink juice will be approached and asked their beverage preference.
Once per week for 26 weeks, patients will be enrolled during a randomly selected 1-hour
block. The random blocks will be assigned using STATA. During these enrollment periods, all
current ED patients will be screened by the treating physicians and research associates,
excluding patients in the "Special Care" unit, where most patients are intoxicated with
alcohol.
Eligibility for oral consumption of water and juice will be determined by treating
physicians. Patients who are deemed eligible to drink water or juice will be approached and
asked their beverage preferences. Their response will be recorded, and the beverage will be
procured for them.
