💡 How to Check the Residual on a Feeding Tube

In this video, Nurse Eunice explains how to check gastric residuals safely and why this skill is important in patient care. 1️⃣ Indications for a Gastric or Feeding Tube Stroke or neurological conditions Surgery or injury affecting swallowing Critical illness requiring nutrition support Chronic conditions that impair eating or digestion 2️⃣ What is a Residual Check? Checking residual tells us if the stomach is emptying properly and if the patient is tolerating their feedings. High residuals may increase risk of aspiration, nausea, or vomiting. 3️⃣ Using a Lopez Valve A three-way stopcock device that connects to the feeding tube Makes it easier to check residuals, give medications, and flush without disconnecting tubing Helps reduce mess and keeps the system closed for safety 📚 Free CNA resources, study guides, and practice tests are available at: 👉 https://www.NurseEunice.com 👉 https://www.FLtraining.com 🔔 Subscribe for more nursing and CNA skill videos: 📺 Florida Training Academy:    / floridatraining   📺 Eunice Mathis:    / eunicemathis   💙 Train.
