Which nursing intervention prevents aspiration in a patient receiving enteral tube feeding?

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Elevate head of bed 30–45° during and for 30–60 min after feeding. Semi-upright positioning (30–45°) uses gravity to prevent gastric reflux and aspiration of tube feeding into the lungs.
