Feeding Tubes

Effective care and management of feeding tubes are crucial for the health and well-being of students with these devices. School nurses must be knowledgeable about various feeding tube types and their specific care requirements, including daily cleaning and troubleshooting potential issues.

Collaboration with parents, healthcare providers, and school staff is vital to ensure safe and effective care. Regular training and clear communication help maintain the student’s nutritional health and overall well-being, enabling them to participate fully in school activities.
