Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has a small bowel obstruction and an NG tube in place. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Maintain low intermittent suction. This is because in a small bowel obstruction, the NG tube helps decompress the bowel by removing gastric contents and relieving pressure. Low intermittent suction helps prevent excessive suction which can cause tissue damage.
Clamping the NG tube every 2 hours (choice
B) is incorrect as it will prevent the tube from effectively decompressing the bowel. Removing the NG tube immediately (choice
C) is also incorrect as it is needed for decompression. Encouraging high-fiber foods (choice
