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.
