Boost your clinical skillset with this easy-to-use ASPEN Enteral nutrition handbook 2nd edition. This book can be used by any clinician as a user-friendly guide to make the right tube feed decisions. Enteral nutrition is used in patients unable to take food by mouth due to illness or injury. It provides nutrients that cannot be obtained through diet, and helps maintain body weight and hydration. Enteral formulas come in two types: elemental and polymeric. Elemental formulas contain proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, and water. Polymeric formulas contain amino acids, lipids, and carbohydrates. Both types of formulas provide calories, fluids, and electrolytes. The type of formula depends on the patient’s needs. For example, if a patient has difficulty swallowing, he or she would receive a polymeric formula. If the patient is able to eat solid foods, then an elemental formula would be appropriate.
