    Regarding jejunostomy feeding, which is the most appropriate single nursing action during feeding?
    Question

    Regarding jejunostomy feeding, which is the most appropriate single nursing action during feeding?

    A.

    Administer feeds only as per doctor’s prescription

    B.

    Keep patient in high Fowler’s position during feeding

    C.

    If tube blocks, attempt flushing instead of continuing blindly

    D.

    Change the tube immediately if resistance occurs

    Correct option is B

    The most important nursing precaution during jejunostomy feeding is to keep the patient in high Fowler’s position. This prevents aspiration and improves tolerance of feed.
    Explanation of options: (a) ✘ Feeds must follow prescription, but the critical nursing action during feed is posture. (b) ✔ Correct; upright position minimizes aspiration risk, essential in jejunal feeding. (c) ✘ Flushing is appropriate if blocked, but that is troubleshooting, not the primary precaution during feed. (d) ✘ Tube should not be changed hastily; only after medical assessment.
