HealthcareClinical Documentation4HighNurse$ implied
A nurse forgot to administer a scheduled enteral feeding for a patient with a new g-tube and is distressed, fearing job loss, and unsure how to document the missed feed because the EMR lacks a section for feed documentation.
The EMR lacks a structured section for documenting enteral tube feeds, leading to missing documentation and no clear workflow for handling missed scheduled feeds, especially for new orders.
