Answer to Question 1

For critically ill individuals, nutritional needs can rarely be met by the oral route, and alternate feeding routes including both enteral and parenteral nutrition are standard components of the medical and nutritional care. As recovery proceeds and the patient is able, oral feedings can be initiated. Weaning from nutrition support is recommended when the patient is able to meet at least 60 of nutritional needs orally.

Answer to Question 2

epidural
