Abstract

A 69-year-old man was consulted to our Home Health Care department for home parenteral enteral nutrition. He was diagnosed with Kennedy disease. He had swallowing difficulty and bowel ischemia. We provided nutritional support in a variety of ways in order to suit his condition. The role of the home care nurse involves training methods depending on changes in the nutritional support to patient and care giver. However, in the case of Kennedy disease, increasing the target patient's nutritional requirements as calculated was difficult.
