Question

differentiate between intravenous and tube feeding three point each

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The feeding tube is given directly into part of the digestive system. It can be through a gastrostomy tube (g-tube) in the stomach or a jejunostomy tube (j-tube) in the small intestine. Enteral solution is thicker than TPN. It may have the consistency of a milkshake

Answer 2

If the gastrointestinal tract (gut) is working and can still move food through the body, a tube feeding is used. An IV feeding is used if the gut does not work or is not working well.
