🤔 Are we relying too much on enteral feeding?.Enteral feeding delivers nutrients into the gut when patients can't eat enough by mouth. While often vital, it’s important not to over-rely on it when eating is possible. #NHWeek2025 @NHWeek @ImperialPeople @BDA_Dietitians

Nurses play a key role in patient nutrition, improving outcomes through NCPs which:.✅ Support healing & recovery.✅ Endure adequate calorie & protein intake.✅ Identify patients needing extra support.✅ Prevent deterioration & dehydration.💙 #nhweek2025. @NHWeek @ImperialPeople

📉 Fewer at-risk patients are getting a nutrition care plan. NCPs are essential as they provide a structured approach to improving nutritional status. NCPs aren't just about food—it's about patient safety, recovery & dignity. #NHWeek2025 @NHWeek @ImperialPeople @BDA_Dietitians
