According to the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, proper flushing protocols are key to preventing tube complications. A detailed nursing procedure to prevent the blockage of a PEG tube by medication is essential for maintaining tube patency and ensuring patient safety during enteral feeding.

According to the American College of Gastroenterology, enteral nutrition is delivered via various tubes, including the nasogastric (NG) tube, to provide essential nutrients to those unable to eat or swallow sufficiently. Strict adherence to a prescribed NG feeding protocol is crucial for ensuring patient safety, maximizing comfort, and achieving optimal nutritional outcomes.
