ABSTRACT
Registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs), like other healthcare professionals, are often searching for ways to improve their skills and advance their practice. One way RDNs have expanded their skills is by learning to place small bowel feeding tubes (SBFTs). However, it is also important that staffing RDNs to place SBFTs makes sense for their institution and their patient population. Although it is unknown how many RDNs place SBFTs, feeding tube placements by RDNs have been in practice for almost 2 decades, and it is within the RDN scope of practice. This article is a review of the literature, including indications for SBFT, possible benefits of RDNs placing SBFTs, development and maintenance of an RDN-led SBFT program, and assessment of clinical and institutional outcomes for this procedure.
