In contrast to EN, PN can be given to most patients and is not limited by GI tolerance.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
PN stands for parenteral nutrition, which is a method of providing nutrients directly into the bloodstream bypassing the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. EN, on the other hand, refers to enteral nutrition, which involves providing nutrients through the GI tract. The given statement suggests that PN can be given to most patients without being limited by GI tolerance, meaning it can be used even if a patient has difficulty tolerating food through the GI tract. This is true because PN is delivered directly into the bloodstream, making it suitable for patients who cannot tolerate or absorb nutrients through the GI tract.
