ATI Nurs 105 Fundamentals Final Exam Questions

Extract:


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: A

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A - Test the pH of gastric aspirate


Rationale: Testing the pH of gastric aspirate is essential before administering enteral feedings via NG tube to ensure placement in the stomach. Gastric pH is acidic (around 1-5), confirming correct placement. If the pH is alkaline, it could indicate placement in the respiratory tract, risking aspiration. A lower pH confirms stomach placement, ensuring safe feeding.

Summary of other choices:
B: Placing the client in low Fowler's position is a routine position for NG tube feeding but not a priority before administering the feeding.
C: Warming the feeding solution to body temperature is important for patient comfort but not a crucial step before administration.
D: Discarding any residual gastric contents is important after testing the pH but not a necessary step before administering the feeding.
