Alice is fed through a gastric tube. She has developed a pressure wound and needs extra protein to support wound healing. The re
gistered dietitian has ordered an extra liquid protein supplement to be added to the tube feeding formula. This is an example of _____ formula classification.
Modular protein supplement is a formula classification used to increase the protein or amino acid intake of people who cannot naturally feed through their mouth; we can also say they are nutritionally compromised.
<em>The addition of extra liquid protein supplement to the tube feeding formula of Alice is an example of modular formula.</em>
<u>A modular formula consists of a deficient food supplements that is specifically rich in a particular macronutrient such as protein, carbohydrate, etc. </u>
The supplements in modular formula are usually in liquid from and are introduced into the tube feeding formula of a patient undergoing tube feeding.
In this case, the macronutrient in the liquid food supplement being given to Alice is protein.
Plasmas are a lot like gases, but the atoms are different, because they are made up of free electrons and ions of an element such as neon (Ne). You don't find naturally occurring plasmas too often when you walk around. They aren't things that happen regularly on Earth.
