TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 12. Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition A1 - Gomella, Leonard G. A1 - Haist, Steven A. Y1 - 2007 N1 - T2 - Clinician's Pocket Reference: The Scut Monkey, 11e AB - Nutritional support is the provision of nutrients with therapeutic intent by either the enteral or the parenteral route. Technically, the term enteral nutrition includes oral supplements as well as tube feeding, but in practice, clinicians use the term to refer strictly to tube feeding. Enteral and parenteral nutrition are important in the management of many medical conditions. Safe and effective nutritional therapy depends on careful selection of patients and a thorough understanding of the complications that can occur.
