Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving enteral feedings via an NG tube. The client has developed hyperosmolar dehydration. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when administering the client's feedings?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: D - Add water to the formula


Rationale: Hyperosmolar dehydration occurs when there is an excessive concentration of solutes in the body. By adding water to the formula, the nurse can dilute the concentration of solutes in the enteral feeding, helping to rehydrate the client and prevent further dehydration.

Summary of other choices:
A: Switching to a lactose-free formula is not directly related to treating hyperosmolar dehydration.
B: Repositioning the NG tube is important for preventing complications but does not address the dehydration issue.
C: Increasing the rate of formula delivery may worsen the dehydration by overwhelming the client's system.
E, F, G: No other choices are provided, but they would likely not be relevant to treating hyperosmolar dehydration.
