|
Patients who are unable to achieve an adequate nutritional intake via their gut are at risk of malnutrition and its many associated problems. They may therefore require feeding directly into a vein. "Prescribing Adult Intravenous Nutrition" is an introductory text offering the inexperienced healthcare professional involved in nutritional support, a practical guide to the broad principles and practice of adult parenteral nutrition. "Prescribing Adult Intravenous Nutrition" describes: why nutritional care is so important; what should be given; what can go wrong; how to deal with any IVN related problems; and organizational aspects of nutritional care.
