Enteral nutrition refers to the delivery of nutrients directly into the gastrointestinal tract through a tube, often used when a person cannot consume food orally but their digestive system is still functional. This method provides essential nutrients, including proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals, to support the patient's nutritional needs. It is commonly used in hospitals or home care settings for patients with conditions affecting their ability to eat normally.
