Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Generally, enteral formulas do not provide adequate water in solution to maintain hydration, and additional free water is needed.
Rationale 2: Diarrhea is a complication of enteral feeding.
Rationale 3: Dumping syndrome is a complication of enteral feeding.
Rationale 4: Clients recovering from burn injuries have increased protein needs associated with repair of body tissues.
Global Rationale: Clients recovering from burn injuries have increased protein needs associated with repair of body tissues. Both diarrhea and dumping syndrome are complications of enteral feeding. Generally, enteral formulas do not provide adequate water in solution to maintain hydration, and additional free water is needed.
