Abstract

Nutritional support refers to providing nutrients to individuals who cannot maintain adequate nutritional status. The nutrition assessment process is a critical step to determine those in whom nutritional support would be beneficial. Nutritional support can be in the form of oral, enteral, or parenteral administration of nutrients. Enteral nutrition facilitates nourishment via a liquid diet formulation and is accomplished through a tube placed in the upper gastrointestinal tract (i.e., nasogastric, gastrostomy, gastrointestinal, and jejunostomy). The purpose of this article is to review the indications, contraindications, and essential elements in the implementation and monitoring of enteral nutrition.
