Have a question for the group. Having a disagreement with someone regarding
a feeding tube that is not being used. They are telling me that because it's
not being used, it should not be coded. Excuse me ... it's being flushed
everyday every shift, why is it not being used? There are 2 residents that have
tubes that aren't being used except for a flush. I referred them to page 3 -
153 of the manual but I still get arguments. The Feeding tube should be coded,
right?
