Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Renal failure requires lower protein intake to reduce the workload on the kidneys. Enteral nutrition would provide the necessary nutrients in a form that is easier for the body to process, but mustn't include higher protein content than necessary. Higher fat content (option B) wouldn't be an appropriate choice for enteral nutrition. Lower calorie (option C) and lower carbohydrate (option D) can't be generalized and may not be the best choice without considering individual needs.
