Generations at Regency is able to provide parenteral nutrition to ensure that residents can receive proper nutritional support.
What is Parenteral Nutrition Care?
Parenteral Nutrition, a type of IV therapy, provides complete nutritional support for those who cannot consume or absorb sufficient nutrients through regular food intake. This allows patients who are malnourished or at risk of becoming malnourished to receive enough nutrients to maintain health. Vitamins, electrolytes, trace elements, and minerals are also provided to patients receiving parenteral nutrition. Nutrition is provided via a pump through a central venous catheter, PICC line, or port.
Who Should Participate in Parenteral Nutrition Care?
If you have an impaired gastrointestinal tract or a disorder requiring complete bowel rest, then parenteral nutrition may be recommended or advised by the physician.
