J (jejunostomy) tubes are surgically placed directly into the jejunum, just below the stomach. J tubes are used mainly for long term feeding & medication administration. Indications for J tube placement include major abdominal surgery, high risk for aspiration, gastroparesis, & elderly patients receiving chemotherapy/ radiation. #nursingschoolhacks #nursingschooltips #nursingstudent #feedingtubeawareness #medsurgnursing #nursingclinicals
