In this nursing NCLEX review lecture, Nurse Sarah explains key concepts you’ll want to know about feeding tubes used for enteral nutrition, such as gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes), jejunostomy tubes (J-tubes), and GJ-tubes.

Gastrostomy tubes are placed directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall.

Jejunostomy tubes are placed in a part of the small intestine (bypassing the stomach).

Watch the lecture above to learn more about the different ports on feeding tubes (balloon ports, med ports, length markings, external bolster, etc.), as well as general care and maintenance of these feeding tubes.
