ICU patients should always receive a mixed regimen of EN+PN irrespective of GI function.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The statement is false because ICU patients should not always receive a mixed regimen of EN (enteral nutrition) and PN (parenteral nutrition) irrespective of GI (gastrointestinal) function. The choice of nutrition support should be based on the patient's individual needs and condition. In some cases, EN alone may be sufficient and appropriate, while in others, PN may be necessary. The decision should consider factors such as the patient's ability to tolerate enteral feeding, the severity of GI dysfunction, and the overall nutritional status.
