Enteral Nutrition Skills Lab (M21)

Managing the placement, care, and monitoring of long-term enteral access devices can be challenging given the complexities of these processes. Clinicians often have limited experience in the important aspects of enteral access devices. This session will address knowledge gaps through hands-on demonstrations and interactive discussions. Participants can move among stations with topics including feeding access, device care and complication management, feeding tube removal, and transitioning from hospital to home.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Determine appropriate enteral access.
• Prevent and manage complications associated with enteral tubes and enteral nutrition.
• Execute safe enteral nutrition discontinuation.
