I just started working in the hospital I have a couple of patients on enteral tube feedings. I needed to make sure I am making the right calculations. I am following same steps as shown in this case study. Thank you
This tool is a nice summary of tube feeding basics. I appreciated the opportunity to practice my skills with the case study. I thought the information was clear and concise touching on the main points to consider when developing a basic tube feeding order. It was a perfect refresher for me.
