How do nutrients enter the body in parenteral nutrition?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Through a vein
In parenteral nutrition, a specially prepared nutrient solution is infused directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous line. It therefore bypasses the mouth, stomach, and intestines. Feeding by mouth or through a tube into the stomach is enteral nutrition, while skin application is not a standard nutrition route.
