Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving continuous enteral feeding via NG tube. Which of the following is an unexpected finding?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: A gastric residual of 300 mL at the end of the shift. This finding is unexpected because a high residual volume may indicate feeding intolerance or delayed gastric emptying, which can lead to aspiration or other complications. Monitoring gastric residuals helps assess the client's tolerance to enteral feeding.
A: A weight gain of 0.91 kg (2 lb) in 2 days - This could be expected due to fluid retention or intake exceeding output.
B: A blood glucose level of 110 mg/dL - This is within normal range and not unexpected.
C: Diarrhea one time in a 24-hr period - Occasional diarrhea can occur with enteral feeding and is not necessarily unexpected.
