A feeding tube, such as a nasogastric (through the nose to the stomach) or gastrostomy (directly into the stomach), is inserted based on the individual's needs.
Enteral Feeding
Enteral feeding is a medical process of delivering nutrients directly to the stomach or intestines, commonly used for individuals who cannot eat or swallow safely on their own. In a disability service care context, this procedure helps support individuals with disabilities or conditions that impact their ability to eat normally.
- Provides essential nutrients directly to the body.

- Supports faster healing and recovery.
- Allows customized nutrient formulas for specific needs.
- More cost-effective than intravenous feeding.
- Lower infection risk compared to IV nutrition.
- Convenient for at-home care with proper training.
