    Study Notes

    Therapeutic Diets and Enteral Feeding Summary

    • Therapeutic diets include fat-restricted, cholesterol-restricted, renal/protein-restricted, regular, and NPO diets for various medical conditions and procedures.
    • Clear liquid diet consists of transparent, pulp-free items such as water, broth, fruit juices, and clear soft drinks, providing hydration and simple carbohydrates.
    • Enteral feeding involves administering liquefied food through tubes inserted into the stomach, duodenum, or jejunum, with various types of feeding tubes used for different purposes.
    • Nasogastric tubes are used for enteral feedings and require a healthcare provider's order for placement through the nasal passageway into the stomach for medication administration and feeding.
    • Enteral feeding tubes, including gastrostomy and jejunostomy tubes, require checking placement and residual gastric volume before instilling tube feedings and flushing with water for patency.
    • Selection of tube feeding formulas depends on tube placement, patient's ability to digest and absorb nutrients, and specific medical conditions.
    • Intermittent tube feedings are administered periodically throughout the day in equal portions via gravity, bolus, or drip set, with nursing interventions including elevating the head of the bed during feeding.
    • Continuous infusion feeding is best administered via an infusion pump over an 8 to 24 hour period, promoting better tolerance and nutrient absorption, with nursing interventions to elevate the head of the bed during feeding.
    • Parenteral nutrition is administered directly into the blood via a central venous catheter, bypassing the GI tract, while partial parenteral nutrition is a less concentrated solution administered through a peripherally inserted central catheter.
    • Enteral feeding methods, including intermittent and continuous infusion feedings, require nursing interventions to elevate the head of the bed during feeding for patient safety and optimal absorption.
    • Gastrostomy/PEG and jejunostomy tubes are used for enteral feedings, with specific requirements for checking placement, residual gastric volume, and flushing for patency before and after feeding or medication administration.
    • Safety measures for nasogastric tubes include checking placement through aspiration and pH testing, securing in place with tape, and verifying placement with X-ray to prevent complications and ensure patient safety.
