Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving continuous enteral feedings through a gastrostomy tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Flush the tubing with 10 mL of water every 2 hr. Flushing the tubing with water helps prevent clogging and maintains tube patency, ensuring the client receives the full prescribed feeding. Changing the tubing every 72 hours (
A) is not necessary unless there are signs of contamination. Heating the formula to 40.5°C (105°F) (
B) can lead to burns and should be avoided. Aspirating residual volume every 4 hours (
