Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For bolus feedings,the nurse checks placement of the tube per institutional policy prior to each feeding,which is more often than every 8 hours during the day.Auscultating lung sounds is also important,but this will indicate a complication that has already occurred.Weighing the client is important to determine if nutritional goals are being met.
