CMS0009v10
39 week gestation newborn being reviewed for PC-05, exclusive breast milk feeding.
Newborn intake and output flowsheet includes an orogastric tube placed on 11/11/22 at 1400; intake of 5mL of sterile water, followed by output of 27mL of air, 9mL of mucus and sterile water with removal of the orogastric tube on 11/11/22 at 1405. All other newborn intake documented states breast milk feedings.
Would the sterile water be considered a medication as part of the procedure or considered a feeding?
