Which nursing interventions should the nurse perform for a female client receiving enteral feedings through a gastrostomy tube?

Change the tube feeding solutions and tubing at least every 24 hours.

Tube feeding solutions and tubing should be changed every 24 hours, or more frequently if the feeding requires it. Doing so prevents contamination and bacterial growth. The head of the bed should be elevated 30 to 45 degrees continuously to prevent aspiration. Checking for gastrostomy tube placement is performed before initiating the feedings and every 4 hours during continuous feedings. Clients may ambulate during feedings.
