Tubes: a nurse's guide to enteral feeding devices.
Nurses use a variety of sophisticated enteral feeding devices to provide nutritional feedings directly into the gastrointestinal tract. Nurses must be familiar with all aspects of enteral nutrition support to safely provide care. Appropriate care includes identifying high-risk patients, observing for symptoms of malnutrition, administering enteral feedings safely, assessing for possible complications, and monitoring the effectiveness of nutritional care.
