| Article Title: | Methods of nutritional support in the home |
| Abstract: | Recent advances in nutrition support methods now offer home patients the possibility of maintaining nutritional adequacy when intake is compromised. Using either enteral or parenteral feeding when appropriate allows patients to achieve an improved quality of life at home. Options for management offer a wide variety of choices in feeding methods, formulations, delivery systems, rates and scheduling as well as services provided for a given need. Team management of these patients is necessary to assure proper medical care and support. © 1990. |
