Which feeding type would be best for the client with the jejunostomy tube in place?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Continuous feedings using a closed system would be the best option for the client with a jejunostomy tube in place as it allows for a slow and consistent infusion of food over a prolonged period of time. Bolus intermittent feedings and cyclic feedings using an open system may cause discomfort or potential complications for the client. Intermittent feedings may also not provide the necessary nutrients and energy that the client requires.
