Thanks so much for all your help!

Hi there... I am seeking some advice for GJ Tube care for my laryngectomy patients. Without any directives from the MD, is there a common practice for feedings and med administration for the patient with the GJ Tube? Feedings always through the J tubing? Meds always through the J tubing except for meds that should be gastric absorbed? We can't seem to come to a concensus on our floor, and the policy is very vague. Any references that would be helpful? Thanks so much...
