So I have been working with my patient who has a G-J tube and I was told by her RN that before I start her enteral feeding I should check her gastric residual which makes perfect sense until she asks...
No! She has shown me how she does it and even she doesn't get the full 30 back so she holds off the feed. She asks me very often if I "got back the 30". I'm glad I'm not the only confused
