 Vitamins are energy building nutrients that contribute to sound nutritional health. Water, on the other hand, is responsible for carrying necessary nutrients and removing waste products throughout our body. A human body is made out of mostly water and is critical to our health. Similarly, minerals and electrolytes are essential to human health and can be obtained in our diet from different foods. When humans are too sick to consume a regular diet, digestion and absorption may impact the supply of necessary  nutrients, requiring specialized nutritional support to meet their nutritional needs.

  2. Navigate to the Oley Foundation: Dietary Recommendations for Patients with Intestinal Failure – Oley FoundationLinks to an external site., read “Physiological Considerations” and discuss in at least one paragraph with two (2) effects of the small bowel resection on Sharyn’s fluid and electrolyte balance.
  3. Navigate to the Oley Foundation: Living with Enteral Feeds – Oley FoundationLinks to an external site. and provide two (2) physical or psychosocial adjustments Sharyn will have to make when living with a feeding tube.ry
