There are five general points outlined in your textbook regarding parenteral nutrition administration. Choose two of the five points and provide evidence (cite references) as to why you think those are the two most important points in parenteral nutrition administration. Additionally, respond to this statement: "Feeding a patient by a tube (any kind of tube) is not normal and should only be used for the short-term." Incorporate your response into a general, overall discussion that incorporates your assigned textbook readings for this week and the two assigned articles. Chapters 16-19 Williams' Essentials of Nutrition and Diet Therapy 12th Edition Article: "Take It from a Girl Who Cannot Eat, a Feeding Tube Is No Fad." Article: "Aging: 'Tube Feeding' – Right or Wrong: The Medical, Legal & Ethical Issues"
