Results Clinical pharmacists committed to enteral and parenteral nutrition, when participating in nutrition-supported treatment, could bring into play their expertise, help doctors formulate treatment plans and improve the level of clinical nutritional support. Conclusion Clinical pharmacists with a good knowledge of nutrition can cooperate with clinicians in monitoring adverse reactions, adjusting therapies, promote rational drug use and improve the level of health care.
