Enteral/tube feeding labels are used to identify food bags as they are sometimes called for specific patients. Most often differentiated as AM nourishment and PM nourishment, enteral/tube feeding labels leave space for the patients name, date, and RN initials. Specific enteral/tube feeding labels may be used to differentiate food bags that are created specifically for diabetic patients or for patients with renal failure. Enteral/tube feeding labels generally have a dimension around x 2 and come in a variety of colors. Diet is an important factor in the treatment of a patient. Bold colors can ensure that patients receive the proper nourishment they need. A patient who is receiving his nourishment from food bags often is on a specific calorie count in order to make sure he gets the proper amount of nourishment; thus, calorie count labels are generally found on this type of patients chart.
