In the past, aides in home care and long-term care have had limited exposure to individuals receiving enteral nutrition, commonly referred to as tube feedings.

This module provides aides with knowledge of current evidence based care for individuals receiving enteral nutrition. Aides will have the opportunity to learn about the gastrointestinal system and how it relates to different feeding tubes, nutritional formulas and supplies. In addition, current evidence based care techniques and observation skills necessary for providing effective care for individuals receiving enteral nutrition will be discussed. (Show Less)
