Back to resource center

Home enteral nutrition (HEN) patients are at increased risk for dehydration from inadequate fluid administration. A potential contributing factor is the lack of specific or adequate water flushing orders at discharge from facility to home care. The purpose of this review was to determine the prevalence and adequacy of flushing orders in HEN patients.
