Module 15 - Nutrition Support

- Learn indications and contraindications for nutrition support- Enteral and Parenteral

- Know how to calculate enteral and parenteral nutrition recommendations based on patient's nutrient needs

- Learn monitoring and evaluation needs of patients on enteral and parenteral nutrition

For a number of reasons patients may not have the ability to meet any or all of their nutrient needs via oral feedings. Enteral and parenteral nutrition support provides patients with the essential nutrients for life in these situations. Patients on these feeding supports have complex nutritional needs and must be monitored by the Registered Dietitian and health care team carefully to minimize complications and optimize health.
