Class NutritionOrder.EnteralFormula

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Visitable
    Enclosing class:
    NutritionOrder
    public static class NutritionOrder.EnteralFormula
extends BackboneElement
    Feeding provided through the gastrointestinal tract via a tube, catheter, or stoma that delivers nutrition distal to the oral cavity.

    • Method Detail

      • getBaseFormulaType

        public CodeableConcept getBaseFormulaType()
        The type of enteral or infant formula such as an adult standard formula with fiber or a soy-based infant formula.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type CodeableConcept that may be null.

      • getBaseFormulaProductName

        public String getBaseFormulaProductName()
        The product or brand name of the enteral or infant formula product such as "ACME Adult Standard Formula".
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type String that may be null.

      • getAdditiveType

        public CodeableConcept getAdditiveType()
        Indicates the type of modular component such as protein, carbohydrate, fat or fiber to be provided in addition to or mixed with the base formula.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type CodeableConcept that may be null.

      • getAdditiveProductName

        public String getAdditiveProductName()
        The product or brand name of the type of modular component to be added to the formula.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type String that may be null.

      • getCaloricDensity

        public SimpleQuantity getCaloricDensity()
        The amount of energy (calories) that the formula should provide per specified volume, typically per mL or fluid oz. For example, an infant may require a formula that provides 24 calories per fluid ounce or an adult may require an enteral formula that provides 1.5 calorie/mL.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type SimpleQuantity that may be null.

      • getRouteofAdministration

        public CodeableConcept getRouteofAdministration()
        The route or physiological path of administration into the patient's gastrointestinal tract for purposes of providing the formula feeding, e.g. nasogastric tube.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type CodeableConcept that may be null.

      • getAdministration

        public List<NutritionOrder.EnteralFormula.Administration> getAdministration()
        Formula administration instructions as structured data. This repeating structure allows for changing the administration rate or volume over time for both bolus and continuous feeding. An example of this would be an instruction to increase the rate of continuous feeding every 2 hours.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type NutritionOrder.EnteralFormula.Administration that may be empty.

      • getMaxVolumeToDeliver

        public SimpleQuantity getMaxVolumeToDeliver()
        The maximum total quantity of formula that may be administered to a subject over the period of time, e.g. 1440 mL over 24 hours.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type SimpleQuantity that may be null.

      • getAdministrationInstruction

        public String getAdministrationInstruction()
        Free text formula administration, feeding instructions or additional instructions or information.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type String that may be null.

      • accept

        public void accept​(String elementName,
                   int elementIndex,
                   Visitor visitor)
        Description copied from interface: Visitable
        Accept a Visitor and invoke the appropriate visit methods. A typical implementation would look like this: 
         if (visitor.preVisit(this)) {
     visitor.visitStart(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     if (visitor.visit(elementName, elementIndex, this)) {
         // visit children
     }
     visitor.visitEnd(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     visitor.postVisit(this);
 }
        Specified by:
        accept in interface Visitable
        Specified by:
        accept in class AbstractVisitable
        Parameters:
        elementName - the name of the element in the context of this visit
        elementIndex - the index of the element in a list or -1 if it is not contained within a List
        visitor - the visitor to use

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Object
