What are the key differences between enteral and parenteral nutrition, and how do these differences impact patient outcomes?
Enteral nutrition involves feeding through the digestive tract, while parenteral nutrition is delivered intravenously. Enteral nutrition is preferred when possible as it maintains gut function and reduces infection risk. Parenteral nutrition is used when the digestive tract cannot be used.
