Evidence-Based Guidelines versus Enteral Nutrition Practices in Intensive Care Units: A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study

Background

Despite established guidelines, enteral nutrition (EN) practices among critical care nurses (CCNs) often vary, leading to suboptimal nutritional delivery. Evidence regarding EN practices in Saudi Arabian intensive care units (ICUs) is limited. This study aimed to assess CCNs' EN practices in Al-Madinah and evaluate their alignment with current evidence-based guidelines.
