For continuous feeding, a feeding pump is utilized.
Nurses should appropriately cleanse the enteral tube before and after feedings. Position: When clinically practicable, the infant should be put upright since lying prone or supine during feeding increases the risk of aspiration.
During enteral feeding, elevating the head of the bed reduces the possibility of aspiration and permits the formula to enter the client's intestines.
When starting enteral feedings, keep an eye on the patient's tolerance for food. Check the abdomen by palpating for stiffness, distention, and discomfort and auscultating for bowel sounds. Be aware that patients who report feeling nauseous or full after a meal may have a higher GRV.
