What is nutrition support?

Nutrition support refers to the provision of specialized dietary assistance to individuals who are unable to meet their nutritional requirements through regular food intake. This support can include enteral nutrition (tube feeding) or parenteral nutrition (intravenous feeding), depending on the patient’s needs. Nutrition support is typically managed by a team of healthcare professionals, such as dietitians, nurses, and physicians, to ensure patients receive the right balance of nutrients. It is commonly used in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and sometimes at home for patients with conditions that impair normal eating.
