How often should a patient be repositioned if he or she cannot move himself?

It should be done every two to three hours, just as often as you provide care for incontinence. It is VERY important to reposition as this can prevent ulcers /bed sores. There are different ways to reposition you should check google for ways that suit your personal preference and that are appropriate for the patient. I suggest using plenty of pillows or wedges. Hope this helps.

Fluid in the lungs typically indicates a condition called pulmonary edema, where excess fluid collects in the air sacs of the lungs.

How do you check residual in a gastrostomy button?

To check for residual in a gastrostomy button, aspirate the contents of the stomach using a syringe. If there is significant residual (typically more than a specified amount, often 100 ml), the contents should be discarded and not re-administered. This process helps to prevent complications such as aspiration pneumonia.
