Answer to Question 1

D
Thick secretions indicate the need to irrigate the tube. Note the ease with which tube feeding infuses through the tubing. Excess volume of secretions (more than 200 mL) indicates delayed gastric emptying. Irrigating the NG tube will not help. Failure of the formula to infuse as desired may indicate a developing obstruction.

A
