Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Overfilling the client's stomach can cause gastric reflux, regurgitation, vomiting, aspiration, and pneumonia. Exceeding the volume of feeding beyond a client's physiologic capacity does not as commonly lead to constipation, pallor, or obesity.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse provides a written instruction sheet that includes guidelines for delaying a feed and the names and contact numbers of people to call if questions arise. The tube is not removed for cleaning purposes and gastric residuals are normally assessed by the nurse.
