If a nurse comes up to you and says, “Oh yeah, the patient in Room 206 is NPO with alternative means of nutrition,” after finding out why they’re NPO in the first place, you’ll likely begin wondering…
Is it a nasogastric tube? TPN? A G-Tube? Something else totally different?
And why do they need that particular type of tube in the first place?
This week’s brand new resource by Dr. Lori Morgan, Ph.D, CCC-SLP is your guide to Non-Oral Feeding Methods.
Inside, you’ll find a summary of alternative delivery methods for nutrition, hydration, and/or medication complete with pictures, descriptions, and indications for use.
No matter what medical setting you’re in, this guide is one you’ll want to add to your clipboard for reference!
