No, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) is not authorized to insert or manage a feeding tube. Feeding tubes are considered a medical procedure that requires the training and expertise of a licensed nurse or physician. CNAs can assist with feeding patients who already have a feeding tube in place, but they cannot perform the insertion or maintenance of the tube itself. Always follow state regulations and facility policies regarding the roles of CNAs and other healthcare providers.
