EN should be always preferred over PN in patients with enterocutaneous fistulas.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The statement is false because PN (parenteral nutrition) should be preferred over EN (enteral nutrition) in patients with enterocutaneous fistulas. EN is contraindicated in these patients as it may exacerbate the fistula output and delay the healing process. PN provides nutrition directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract, and is therefore a better option for patients with enterocutaneous fistulas.
