From the reviews of the previous edition:
"This evidence-based text fills a gap in the market for detailed information on drugs administered via enteral feeding tubes. The only publication to bring together into one resource the legal, ethical, pharmaceutical and practical issues surrounding the administration of drugs using this method...
...This handbook would be extremely useful in hospitals, long-term care/rehabilitation settings, and skilled nursing facilities where patients may require feedings tubes for a prolonged period of time."
Jamila Stanton, PharmD, BCPS (Temple University School of Pharmacy), Doody's Notes, Feb 2011
