ATI Nurs 105 Fundamentals Final Exam | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: The nurse allows the client to rest in a supine position during feeding. This action should prompt the charge nurse to intervene because feeding a client in a supine position increases the risk of aspiration. When a client is in a supine position, gravity can cause the feeding to flow back into the esophagus and potentially the lungs, leading to aspiration pneumonia.
To prevent this, clients should be positioned in an elevated position (at least 30-45 degrees) during and after feeding to promote proper digestion and reduce the risk of aspiration.

A: Irrigating the NG tube with tap water after feeding is a common practice to ensure the tube is clear and functional.
B: Administering the feeding through a syringe barrel by gravity is a correct method for delivering intermittent tube feedings.
D: Aspirating gastric residual before feeding is a standard practice to assess the client's tolerance to feeding and prevent complications.
