computations involved in preparing tube feeding and administering parenteral solutions are
critical in providing adequate nutritional support to the patients.

but not limited to inherent fluid of natural foods used in blenderized tube feedings,

solutions).
2. Group the formulas by concept and arrange them in alphabetical order when your
compilation is complete.
3. Cite the references that you used.
