Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Karen's intractable vomiting is likely affecting her ability to tolerate any type of oral intake, including clear liquids. Gastric or intestinal tube feeding may also be difficult to tolerate if there is persistent vomiting. Therefore, parenteral nutrition, which is the administration of nutrients through an intravenous line, may be the most appropriate option for Karen.
