Correct Answer: 1,3,5
Rationale 1: Aspiration is a complication associated with enteral feedings.
Rationale 2: Infiltration is not a complication associated with enteral feedings.
Rationale 3: Diarrhea is a complication associated with enteral feedings.
Rationale 4: Localized, not systemic, infections are associated with enteral feedings.
Rationale 5: Electrolyte imbalances are a complication associated with enteral feedings.
Global Rationale: Aspiration, diarrhea, and electrolyte imbalances are all complications associated with enteral feedings. Localized infections are more common than systemic infections. Infiltration is a complication of parenteral feeding.
