Solution and Explanation

Two common methods of feeding a patient are:
Oral Feeding: This is the most natural method where food is given through the mouth. It may involve assistance in feeding if the patient is weak.
Tube Feeding (Enteral Feeding): In cases where a patient cannot eat by mouth, a feeding tube (like nasogastric or gastrostomy tube) is used to deliver nutrients directly into the stomach or intestine.
