Minimize the risk of aspiration by checking proper tube placement before initiating feedings (and at frequent intervals). The nurse can also minimize the risk of aspiration by keeping the client in Fowler position (the head of bed elevated at least 30 to 45 degrees) at all times when feedings are infusing and for 30 minutes after completion of intermittent or continuous feeding.
