Abstract

Malnutrition in patients with gastric cancer is a common problem that must be addressed. Artificial nutrition and hydration at the end-of-life are considered part of medical treatment, care process, or act of humanity. Oral, enteral, or parenteral nutritional support must be provided according to the clinical condition and on a case-by-case basis. The objective of this case study is to describe the nutritional management of a palliative care patient hospitalized in a third-level health care institution in Guatemala City.
