- Recommend the appropriate enteral feeding tube based on a patient’s unique clinical condition;
- Describe techniques for managing physiologic intolerances to enteral nutrition support and mechanical complications of enteral access devices (e.g., leaking, clogged, and connection incompatibilities);
- State the current scientific knowledge and clinical implications of the CFTR gene;
- Explain how to assess adult patients for gastrointestinal manifestations of cystic fibrosis;
- Discuss the role of novel medications that target mutations of the CFTR gene in the gastrointestinal tract;
