Enteral routes of administration

Hi,

How does your institution handle the various route options for ordering enteral medication delivery in the EMR?

1) All route options are available to select for all medications - po, ng, og, nd, g tube, j tube,etc
2) Use more general categories, such as "by mouth" or "by enteral tube" (rather than each type of tube)
3) other?

Thank you.
