Abstract
Home enteral nutrition (HEN) allows, besides guaranteeing a correct nutricional treatment, improving patient autonomy and wellbeing along with a reduction of the expenditure on hospitalization. Due to the characteristics of this treatment, which is administered at home, Health Education becomes of high importance: the patient, their family and/or caregivers need to learn theoretical and practical aspects of this procedure. For this reason, one of the nursing tasks could be not only the identification and treatment of its complications, but also being a patient/family educator.
