The most current Standards of Practice for nutrition support clinicians outline the level of professional responsibility and clinical expertise required or expected of these healthcare professionals 29 . ‐ 33 Important elements of the EN recommendation made by the nutrition clinician address the monitoring of biochemical data, anthropometrics, nutrient needs, enteral access, EN tolerance, and other indicators 33 .…”

Enteral nutrition (EN) is a valuable clinical intervention for patients of all ages in a variety of care settings. Along with its many outcome benefits come the potential for adverse effects. These safety issues are the result of clinical complications and of process-related errors. The latter can occur at any step from patient assessment, prescribing, and order review, to product selection, labeling, and administration. To maximize the benefits of EN while minimizing adverse events requires that a systematic approach of care be in place. This includes open communication, standardization, and incorporation of best practices into the EN process. This document provides recommendations based on the available evidence and expert consensus for safe practices, across each step of the process, for all those involved in caring for patients receiving EN.

“…As with the prior survey, the RD was identified as the clinician primarily responsible for conducting the nutrition assessment; however, 11% of the respondents reported that physicians, nurses, pharmacists, or nutrition and dietetic technicians registered (NDTR) conduct the nutrition assessment. For ASPEN members, this would be consistent with practice standards for nutrition support physicians, nurses, and pharmacists . The role of the NDTR in conducting full nutrition assessments should be explored further to assure that the NDTR is practicing within the appropriate Standards of Practice/Standards of Professional Performance as published by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics…”

Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a highly complex medication and its provision can be prone to a variety of errors. Safe administration of this therapy requires that the competency of clinicians, particularly nurses, be demonstrated using a standardized process. In this document, a standardized model for PN administration competency is proposed based on a competency framework, the ASPEN-published interdisciplinary core competencies, discipline-specific standards of practice, safe practice recommendations, and clinical guidelines. ASPEN recognizes that all healthcare institutions may not currently meet the aspirational goals of this document. This framework will guide institutions and agencies in developing tools and procedures and maintaining competency of staff members around safe PN administration. The ASPEN Board of Directors has approved this document.
