Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Before giving a tube feeding, the nursing assistant needs to know what formula to use. This information should be available in the care plan and should be confirmed with the nurse. The nursing assistant should also correctly identify the person and follow the feeding schedule outlined in the care plan, but these are not specific to the tube feeding procedure itself. The cost of the formula is usually not the responsibility of the nursing assistant to obtain.
