Answer to Question 1

C
C. Client and caregivers need to document I&O, daily weights, amount of gastric fluid aspirated before each feeding (or every 4 hours if receiving continuous feeding), date and time of feedings, amount and type of formula, any additives, and date and time administration sets are changed.
A. Instruct client or caregiver that the client should sit up in a chair or have the head of the bed elevated at least 30 to 45 degrees while receiving feedings or medications or when tube is flushed.
B. Refrigerate unused formula, and limit amount of formula hung at one time to amount that can be infused in a 4- to 6-hour period. Refrigeration and limiting hang time reduces microorganism proliferation.
D. If gastric aspirates are greater than or equal to 200 ml, instruct client or caregiver to return gastric contents and delay tube feeding for 1 hour. If aspirates remain greater than or equal to 200 ml after an hour, instruct client or caregiver to contact home care nurse or health care provider.
