Transitioning from continuous to bolus tube feed

I have a resident who was just admitted to facility with a continuous tube feed one week ago. I have started to transition her to a nocturnal feed because she is very confused and has already tried to take out her PEG once. Medical provider, NP, asked me about doing bolus feeds instead but DON/ADON said she hasn't been on feed long enough to proceed with bolus feeds. I didn't think this was a variable. How would you transition to a bolus feed with this resident? Thanks so much!
