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:
Correct
Answer: A: Maintain low intermittent suction.


Rationale: Maintaining low intermittent suction helps to decompress the bowel, reducing the risk of further obstruction. Suction also helps to remove excess fluid and gas from the digestive system, providing relief to the client. It is essential to prevent excessive suction, as it can cause damage to the bowel and worsen the obstruction.

Summary of other choices:
B: Clamping the NG tube every 2 hours is not recommended as it can lead to a buildup of fluid and gas in the bowel, potentially worsening the obstruction.
C: Removing the NG tube immediately is contraindicated as it is necessary for decompression and monitoring of bowel function.
D: Encouraging high-fiber foods is inappropriate in the case of a small bowel obstruction as it can further obstruct the bowel.
