How may these interventions (from #22) change as he progresses postoperatively? Discuss how Mr. Seyer may transition from enteral feeding to an oral diet
What will be an ideal response?
• The initial oral diet will be modified in texture (softened/pureed foods and thickened liquids)
• The SLP will have to assess Mr. Seyer's swallowing capacity and a modified-textured diet will be prescribed.
• As the oral diet increases in adequacy, enteral feeding can be reduced.
- A general rule of thumb is that when oral intake meets 60% of estimated energy requirements, enteral feeding can be weaned.
• An option for Mr. Seyer is that he receive his enteral feeding cycled at night and be able to consume solid food while awake.
