  28. Pneumonia • Usually related to aspiration • Turn off tube feeding (TF) for 20 minutes prior to transporting patients when possible • Patients receiving TF should always have the HOB elevated at least at 30 degrees. This will help reduce the possibility of aspiration. Baptist South Nursing Education
