The client states concern that he will not be able to continue the tube feedings at home. Which nursing response is most appropriate at this time

Answers 2

A client often has fears about leaving the secure, cared-for environment of the health care facility. This client has a fear about not being able to care for himself at home and of not being able to handle the tube feedings at home. A therapeutic communication statement such as "Tell me more about . . ." often leads to valuable information about the client and his concerns.

. The most appropriate nursing response is to provide the client with information on how to properly and safely administer the enteral tube feedings at home. The client's concerns should be addressed and a thorough explanation of the enteral tube feeding process provided. The nurse can reassure the client that there is a variety of resources available to assist in learning how to self-administer the tube feedings, such as written instructions, videos, and support from a home care agency or nutritionist. The nurse should also explain that the client's primary care provider will be able to provide additional guidance if needed. The nurse should ensure that the client and family members are comfortable and confident with the tube feeding instructions before discharge.
