Extract:
Question 1 of 5
After abdominal surgery, a client has a nasogastric tube attached to low suctioning.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nausea and decreased flow suggest possible NG tube obstruction. Aspirating gastric contents with a syringe confirms tube placement (pH 0-4) and checks for blockages, addressing the cause of symptoms. Irrigation should use normal saline after placement confirmation, and antiemetics or tube replacement do not assess tube function.

Rationale: Tremors and heat intolerance are classic symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to increased metabolism. Bradycardia, weight gain, fatigue, and constipation are associated with hypothyroidism.
