Physicians at our facility have asked for references of studies describing
and reporting on "free water protocol"
If you know of any would you please post them on this list serve.  Thank
you.

Nursing is asking for references supporting the most appropriate angle to
feed tube residents and residents with dysphagia, particularly when fed in
bed.  Any references supporting upper torso angles?  Nursing texts seem to
suggest 45 degree angle.  Thank you.  Send responses to
kwitte@mail.hebrewhome.org
