A.S.P.E.N. Releases EN Book
Though it is written for clinicians, home enteral (HEN) consumers and/or their caregivers may find the new Enteral Nutrition Handbook, published by the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.) and edited by Joseph Boullata, PharmD, RPh, BCNSP, Liesje Nieman Carney, RD, CNSD, LDN, and Peggi Guenter, PhD, RN, CNSN, very useful.
The chapters most likely to interest HEN consumers/caregivers include those focused on EN formulas, complications of EN, medication administration with EN, and HEN issues, such as home care providers and nutrition support teams.
The handbook is available for $39.95 (plus shipping) through A.S.P.E.N., www.nutritioncare.org or (301) 587-6315.
