Just another otion
Note from asker:
| But it doesn't actually sound correct to me in English. Although nourishment can be the action of nourishing/feeding, it is usually a noun in English and sounds less correct to me than "nutritional support". Thank you for your contribution. |

nutritional counseling
nutritional counseling or nutritional follow-up
Note from asker:
| Not counseling in this case as the patient is dying and unconscious so no counseling would be possible, that's why I went for "assisted feeding", although "nutritional support" would have been equally acceptable in my text. |
