Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client in a long-term care facility who is receiving enteral feedings via an NG tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take prior to administering the tube feeding?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: D - Test the pH of gastric aspirate.


Rationale: Testing the pH of gastric aspirate is essential before administering enteral feedings via an NG tube to ensure proper tube placement in the stomach. A pH of 1-5 indicates stomach placement, reducing the risk of aspiration. Discarding gastric contents (
A) is important but not the priority. Placing the client in low Fowler's position (
B) does not directly impact tube feeding administration. Warming the feeding solution (
C) may improve tolerance but is not a pre-administration step.
