Question 2

The nurse is assigned to care for a child diagnosed with a chronic illness. The child has just been admitted but has been on the unit many times before.
 
  From the report the admitting nurse gives, the child is sicker than the last time the child was admitted. In planning the child's care, the nurse notes that the provider has ordered a nasogastric gavage feeding, but you remember that even the last time the child was on the unit, the child was unable to tolerate the nasogastric feedings. The most appropriate nursing action would be for the nurse to:

  B) begin an orogastric gavage in hopes the child can handle the feeding.
  C) ask the nursing supervisor to decide which type of feeding to give.
