Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. The reason for the pacifier is not to distract the infant so she will not try to pull the feeding tube out in a reflex action. The basic source of infant satisfaction is through satiation of oral needs. Tube feeding interferes with the gratification of these needs.

C Incorrect. The nurse does not give an infant a pacifier to suck on during a tube feeding to keep the child from sucking on her fingers.
D Incorrect. The nurse does not give an infant a pacifier to suck on during a tube feeding to keep the infant focused so she will not remember the procedure.
