Abstract
When a patient is unable to take a nutritionally adequate diet orally and is malnourished or likely to become malnourished, nasogastric (NG) feeding is normally the first choice of artificial nutritional support. This article describes the initiation of NG feeding and, using a problem-solving approach, explains the nursing care of a patient receiving a NG feed.Keywords
