What should the nurse do if she notices a residual gastric content of 50mL?
It depends on the patient. For an adult patient anything less than 200 ml is ok. However, for a patient such as a child, their feeding is much less. You should never have more residual than what the last feeding was. Consequently, in an adult, that would be OK, and you can continue with the next feeding.
What are the considerations for g-tube feedings?
You have to check lab values to make sure the patient is getting the full range of daily requirements. Also before every feed is started a residual must be checked. Meaning that the nurse checks to see if there is any residual feeding left in the stomach from the prior feed. If there is food left it means the stomach isn't tolerating the feeding well and the rate needs to be slowed.
