Yes i understand that but should they be eating food and have a feeding running simultaneously? Or should it be off while they are eating a meal?

So I am working as a CNA at a rehab facility. We often have pts who are admitted with Gtube but then weaned off when they can eat enough food orally to meet there nutritional req. But as far as I know you should not be eating and have a tube feeding running at the same time, doesn't it defeat the purpose since your recording what they eat orally and that will be looked at to determine if the feedings will be discontinued. How much can you possibly eat while your having a feeding running simultaneously? So when this happened i informed the nurse and she was very rude to me acting like i was bothering her and it was unnecessary to stop his feeding to eat. so was i in the wrong for saying anything is this okay?

Thank you everyone for all the responses. I attended nursing school in another country (Philippines) and we have an OR theory class which is like intro to the OR instruments nursing duties ect. But i was wondering since In the US there is no OR class when do you have your rotations if any. Turns out its mostly during your MS subject some OB for the cs surgeries. I applied for my Nclex almost a year ago and recently got a letter saying they wanted all of my OR rotations completed within the semester we had OR subject. This makes no sense to me because we have our med surg classes the following semesters which is where you gain knowledge to specific disorders/diseases/illnesses. Pre and post op nursing care which is specific to each case.

Just wondering when you had your clinicals in the OR? Is there a specific class that you take prior to entry in the Operating room? This question is for general nursing students ADN or BSN programs.

Thanks for the information do you think it would be safe to say that the anesthesia used was propofol?

I am doing a research paper about the knowledge regarding the advantages of breastfeeding among expecting mothers. I chose this topic because in the philippines only about 20 percent of mothers exclusively breastfeed their children because of the lack of knowledge, but i am having a hard time coming up with the questions that i hope to have answered. some questions im thinking about are 1.what is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of? age educational attainment 2. have the respondents received a consultation from their primary care provider regarding the advantages of breastfeeding? if you guys have any tips or questions i can add i would greatly appreciate it

nstp1 and 2 are only required for filipino citizens if you are US citizen you will not be required to take it. as for health care 1&2 it should be accredited i was accredited both and i was only a CNA in california.
