||||
| What r fxs of GI intubation? | decompress stomach of gas/fluid, lavage and remove toxins, diagnose disorders, adm meds/feedings, compress bleeding site, aspirate gastric contents for analysis

|
||||
| what is priority in assessing pt with tube feeding? | 1.check placement(below pylorus is best), elevate HOB

🗑
|
||||
| What are nsg interventions for diarrhea and enteral therapy | 1.check rate of flow and temp of formula(hyperosmolar feeding, cold)
2.avoid pro motility meds(reglan)
3. asses F&E levels
🗑
|
||||
| nsg interventions for nausea/vomiting for enteral therapy | 1.review meds
2.check residuals (inadequate gastric emptying, ileus, gastric block, infection)
🗑
|
||||
| nsg interventions for gas/bloating for enteral therapy | keep tubing free from air
🗑
|
||||
| nsg intervention for constipation for enteral therapy | flushes to hydrate, cathartics(inadequate fluid/fiber, opioid use)
🗑
|
||||
| what can cause aspiration pneumonia? | improper tube placement, vomiting w/ aspiration of tube feeding, supine
Intv: assess resp, check placement
🗑
|
||||
| Causes of tube displacement | coghing/vomiting, unsecured tube, tracheal suctioning, airway intubation
Intv: stop feeding, call Dr
🗑
|
||||
| Causes of tube obstruction | inadequate flushing/formula rate
Intv: declog, get liquid meds, flush

||||
| causes of hyperglycemia, dehydration, azotemia(excess urea in blood) | glucose intolerance, hyperosmolar feedings, low fluid intake

🗑
|
||||
| How should enteric coated, timed released tablets be adm wtih tube feedings? | Never crush! Call pharmacy for alternate form
