Answers:
I dont think you can eat normal food!.Meds can go in with your food and it needs flushed and you can do this at home!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
of course you can look at it, it's important for you to assess the tube and the insertion point
the line will be flushed before and after feedings or medication administration to prevent occlusion
You may not want to put meds in with food unless they are crushed to a fine powder to prevent blocking the tube
Eating normal food you would have to ask your doc, typically they will not allow you to eat normal food!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
