A patient is receiving continuous enteral feedings via jejunostomy tube.

Mild, intermittent diarrhea in a patient receiving continuous enteral feedings can often be managed by reviewing and possibly adjusting the feeding formula. This approach can address potential intolerance or sensitivity to the current formula. An abdominal x-ray or considering PICC line placement are not appropriate first-line responses to mild diarrhea, and holding feedings without further assessment could negatively impact the patient's nutritional status.
