Enteral nutrition is the preferred route of nutrition when patients have a functioning gastrointestinal tract but are unable to meet their requirements orally. In terms of patient safety and quality of life, it is important that enteral nutrition must be administered by the nutrition team consisting of experienced interdisciplinary health professionals. Members of the nutrition team should have up-to-date knowledge and skills to monitor and evaluate the patients during the enteral feeding process and prevent the development of complications. The nurse, as a member of the team, has important responsibilities, such as correct and safe enteral nutrition practices, care of the enteral nutrition route, and follow-up of patients in accordance with the guidelines.
