Answer to Question 1

A PEJ can be surgically placed at the bedside if necessary but usually is placed in the endoscopy lab or operating room. Using an endoscope and a minor surgical procedure, a small bore feeding tube is placed through the skin into the jejunum. In this case, it will allow Mrs. M to be fed beyond the ileus.

Answer to Question 2

During the initial inflammation stage, the patient may be NPO or on clear liquids at best. The diet will progress to full liquids as the patient recovers but gas-forming liquids should be eliminated. This would be followed by very soft, easily digested, low-fiber foods with a gradual build-up to the diet for diverticulosis.
