Answer to #1

Enteral nutrition includes feedings that bring the nutrients directly into the digestive system. These alternate methods include the following:
Nasogastric-a tube through the nose into the stomach or small intestine

Gastrostomy-creation of a surgical opening into the stomach

Jejunostomy-creation of a surgical opening into the jejunum

Vitamin D is for the absorption of calcium and vitamin K for proper blood clotting. Iron is for blood building, calcium and phosphorus to support bone health, and other minerals for maintenance of acid-base balance and electrolyte and fluid balance.
