When caring for a resident with tube feeding, what should the nurse aide do?

Keep the resident in his/her room at all times
Encourage the resident to move about regularly
Assist the resident with oral intake as well
Monitor the resident during feeding

The correct answer is: Monitor the resident during feeding

Monitoring the resident during feeding is crucial when caring for someone receiving tube feeding. This practice ensures the resident's safety and comfort by allowing the caregiver to observe for any signs of complications, such as aspiration, distress, or adverse reactions to the formula. Ongoing monitoring can help catch any potential issues early, enabling prompt intervention when necessary. In addition to ensuring safety, monitoring helps verify that the feeding is being administered correctly, including checking the tube placement and flow rate. Proper supervision during feeding also provides an opportunity for the resident to receive emotional support, which can enhance their overall well-being during the procedure.
