This interactive program has been designed to prepare you for the difficult decision of whether or not to place a feeding tube in an elderly patient. The program was originally designed as a booklet and audiotape. The electronic version of the program will present the pages of the booklet on the left side of your screen and the accompanying text on the right side of the screen. You can move back and forth through the program using the forward and backward buttons on the bottom right hand side of your screen.

The information contained in this program is intended for general interest purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice or a medical exam. Always seek the advice of your physician or other health care professional before starting any new therapy. Medical information changes rapidly, and while the authors make an effort to update the content on the website, some information may be out of date.
