Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bolus feeding involves delivering a larger volume of formula over a short period of time, typically less than 20 minutes. Continuous drip feeding involves delivering a slower and continuous flow of formula over a longer period of time. Intermittent feeding involves delivering smaller volumes of formula at regular intervals. Slow drip feeding is not a commonly used feeding method in clinical practice. The definition provided matches that of a bolus feeding, which involves delivering a large amount of formula quickly over a short period of time, typically in less than 20 minutes. This is opposed to a continuous drip feeding, which involves a slow and steady infusion of formula over a longer period of time, and an intermittent feeding, which involves delivering smaller amounts of formula over a specified period of time (e.g. every 2-4 hours). A slow drip feeding is not a commonly used term in enteral feeding practices.
