The frequency of increasing a tube feed rate should be determined by a healthcare professional, typically based on the patient's individual nutritional needs, tolerance, and medical condition. Generally, adjustments are made gradually and are closely monitored to ensure the patient is tolerating the feeding well without complications such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Always follow the specific guidance provided by your healthcare team.
