Which standard formula is indicated for general use and for those who benefit from fiber-containing formula?

• A. Isosource 1.5
• B. Jevity
• C. Nutren
• D. Osmolite

Answer: (B)

Fiber helps support bowel health by adding bulk to stool and aiding regularity, which can be especially beneficial for older adults or those with slowed gut transit. Jevity is a standard polymeric enteral formula that includes dietary fiber in its regular formulation, making it suitable for general use and for people who benefit from fiber-containing nutrition. It provides the typical caloric density and tolerance expected of everyday feeds, so it’s a versatile choice when the goal is broad use with the option of fiber support. Other formulas tend to be targeted for specific needs (such as higher energy density or specialized ingredients) and may not include fiber, or may not be ideal for general use.
