ESSAY ON: Tube Feeding The Elderly: Quality Of Life

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. Tube feeding, an invasive way in which to force nutrients into the system, is routinely utilized as a manner by which to keep otherwise terminally ill patients alive. Understanding the nature of the act, as well as acknowledging the ethical implications of such an heroic – if not overstepping – measure, causes one to consider if such nursing intervention is warranted when compared to the patient's diminished quality of life. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
