Dr. Sharon hates nutrition questions....so she decided to tackle it head on! Review fundamentals of nutrition here, and then review question with Dr. Sharon to see how to apply this information.

Thanks Dr. Sharon!! Taking my nclex soon. I only listen to these videos along with mark K lectures. I feel like this is nursing school and Nclex prepped all in one.

Thanks Dr Sharon for sharing this wonderful information ❤❤

I love working on these questions with my classmate, fiancé and family! I'm currently retaking Fundamentals and my biggest struggle has been application of content to patient situation. I find your approaches to be very helpful and easy to understand. I wish I came across these videos sooner, but I am at least working on improving my progress. Thank you for helping students like me! I have 2 requests: Can you do questions on Infection Prevention/Control? And on Medication Administration? 🙏🏼 Thank you Dr. Sharon!

Now the standard is to check placement of the tube with X-RAY

[@fjson4656]

Residual volume of 500 and above should discontinue feeding, not 250ml? latest update?

[@missyaman7053]

We are studying nutrition now. Thank you sm for uploading this video. Am so happy 🤍

[@lovefee1981]

Great information , thank you!

[@ciarapradhan9639]

Can you please do a video on meditation dosage with rounding

[@jamesromero731]

What is the purpose of checking for residual amount? residual is just the left over food found in the tube during feeding correct? You dont want it to be too much before starting a next feeding cycle b/c of aspiration?

[@klimekreviews]

Yes

[@user-mq9tn1ss9h]

If they are getting nutrition from EN and PN, and they are getting 75% from EN then it would be common sense to infer they are receiving 25% PN. How could you pick 75% EN without also saying 25% PN is correct?

Stir fry is frying and u said no fried foods for diet and nutrition so why is option 2 with stirfry the correct answer to the question?

[@klimekreviews]

Stir fry is not considered fried, fried refers to frying in oil

[@tracyrichmond9293]

If the tube feedings are supplying 75% of the patient’s nutritional needs, then why discontinue? Seems like the enteral feedings won’t be able to keep up with the nutritional needs.

You hang D10 not D50

[@thesmindalowe5618]

Hang D10 , not D50

[@klimekreviews]

Maybe, but the fundamentals text says D50. For NCLEX prep I usually follow what fundaments text says. I will check some other sources to see if there is any consistency
