Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving intermittent enteral tube feedings. Which of the following factors places the client at risk for aspiration?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: A history of gastroesophageal reflux disease. This places the client at risk for aspiration because GERD increases the likelihood of gastric contents refluxing into the esophagus, potentially leading to aspiration during enteral feedings. High-osmolarity formula (
A) may cause diarrhea but does not directly increase aspiration risk. A residual of 65 mL 1 hr postprandial (
B) indicates incomplete digestion but is not a direct aspiration risk factor. Sitting in high-Fowler's position (
C) actually reduces aspiration risk by promoting proper digestion and preventing reflux.

Choices E, F, and G are not provided.
