To reduce the risk of aspiration in a patient who is receiving enteral feedings running at 70 mL/hour, the nurse should:
1.   check the position of the tube every shift.
2.   notify the charge nurse or physician about a residual of 15 mL.
3.   elevate the head during and for 10 minutes following the feeding.
4.   position the patient on the left side after the feeding.
