Prior to administering the initial tube feeding following nasogastric tube insertion, the nurse should:
a. verify correct tube placement by x-ray.
b. place the client in a supine position in the bed.
c. aspirate for residual tube feeding contents.
d. place the distal tip of the tube in a glass of water to verify correct placement by absence of bubbling.
Question 2
The client receiving a continuous enteral tube feeding of 450 mOsm/L develops diarrhea. The nurse understands the most likely cause could be:

b. too-slow administration of tube feeding.
c. flushing the tube with tap water every eight hours.
d. the enteral formula cannot fully meet nutritional needs.
