Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Administering tube feedings is a nursing responsibility as they are trained in inserting and caring for feeding tubes and monitoring patient response to feedings. Dietitians may provide recommendations for the formula and rate of infusion, but they do not typically administer the feedings. Dietetic technicians and social workers are also not typically responsible for administering tube feedings.
