Again....why are you keeping these G-Tubes???
This resident is a paraplegic with swallowing problems and weight loss issues. If his po intake is not greater than 50 % of each meal, he gets a bolus. Hasn't had a bolus in past year and weight has been stable. When he was admitted, he had a huge pressure ulcer that caused him to lose his entire right leg and end up with a colostomy. All healed now, but remains at risk for skin breakdown.
